Abstract
During Rabi season 2022 A field trial was laid at Crop Research Farm (CRF), Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), formerly Allahabad Agricultural Institute, Prayagraj (UP) to study the Influence of liquid organic manure on growth and yield of Field pea. The experiment was arranged as nine treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design. The treatment combination of Jeevamrutha (500 l/ha) + Spraying at interval of 7 days observed maximum plant height (97.87 cm), plant dry weight (31.54 g), number of pods/plant (21.97) and number of seeds/pod (4.95) seed yield (2.88 t/ha), and stover yield (4.91 t/ha) of Field pea as related to other treatments. Highest Gross return (INR 167040.00 /ha), Net return (INR 110640.0 /ha) and B: C ratio (1.96) were observed in treatment combination Jeevamrutha (500 l/ha) + Spraying at interval of 7 days as compared to other treatments.
