Abstract
ABSTRACTAn experiment comprising seven treatments was conducted to study the effect of boron and lime integrated with organic manures and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) fertilizers on garden pea productivity. Seed yield along with growth parameters were significantly influenced by combined use of farmyard manure and NPK fertilizers either alone or in combination with boron and lime. Treatment combination of 20 t farmyard manure / ha + 100% NPK + borax (T4) resulted in 37% increase in seed yield over recommended practice of 20 t farmyard manure / ha + 100% NPK (T3). In addition, recommended practice supplemented with granubor (T5) and lime (T6) also significantly surpassed T3 with respective increase of 14 and 10% in seed yield. Similarly, maximum nutrient was observed in T4. Hence, application of boron along with farmyard manure and NPK fertilizers could be the best option to maximize pea productivity in acidic soils under humid subtemperate climate.
