Abstract
The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2022 at the Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP) to examine the effect of liquid organic manure on growth and yield of Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.). The finding showed that field pea growth characteristics steadily improved with the maximum application of Dasagavya (250 l/ha) + spraying. This treatment resulted in significantly higher plant height (97.14 cm), Maximum number of nodules (28.13), plant dry weight (33.18 g), number of pods/plant (22.18), number of seeds/pod (4.16), seed yield (2.04 t/ha), and harvest index (40.16%), but in Stover yield the Dasagavya (250 l/ha) + seed inoculation and Spraying treatment (4.27 t/ha) was significantly greater. It is concluded with this data that spraying of Dasagavya is the most remunerative, profitable and economically efficient.
