EFFECT OF ORGANIC GROWTH PROMOTERS ON PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITABILITY OF PEA (PISUM SATIVUM L.)Raju Yadav, Kavita Aravindakshan, Balraj Singh, Rajesh Kumar Sharma, Vikash Kumar Kumawat4 and Rupa UjjwalAbstract An experiment was conducted at Vegetable Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar (Rajasthan) during rabi season of 2021-2022 pea. The experiment consisted thirteen treatments of organic growth promoters viz. Panchagavya @ 2 %, Panchagavya @ 4%, Panchagavya @ 6 %, Jeevamrut @ 2%, Jeevamrut @ 4%, Jeevamrut @ 6 % and Brahmastra @ 2%, Brahmastra @4%, Brahmastra @6% and vermiwash @ 5%, vermiwash @10%, vermiwash @15% and Control) and laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Results revealed that under foliar spray of Panchagavya @ 4 % was recorded length of pod (10.13 cm), breadth of pod (2.56 cm), number of pods per plant (27.92), number of seeds per pod (10.94) and also the weight of pods per plant (187.57 g), yield per plot (4.08 kg) and estimated yield (169.93 q/ha.). Further the application of Panchagavya 4%) resulted maximum net return of `269775/- ha-1 with B:C ratio (3.84). While minimum net returns of `170875/- ha-1 was found in control with B:C ratio of 2.57, respectively. However, it was found at par with foliar spray of vermiwash @ 10% and Vermiwash @15% of pea. |
