ABSTRACT
A field experimental was conducted at Division of Vegetable Science SKUAST - Kashmir, Shalimar during rabi 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 in randomized complete block design with sixteen treatment combinations consisting four levels of sulphur (0, 15, 30 and 45 kg S ha-1) and boron (0, 1, 2 and 3 kg B ha-1) replicated three times. Application of 30 kg S ha-1 showed marked improvement in different growth, yield and quality attributes in pea. Increasing dose of boron in the absence of sulphur up to 3 kg ha-1 resulted marked improvement in growth, yield and quality attributes in garden pea. Higher values of plant height, number of branches plant-1, fresh weight plant-1 , dry weight plant-1, number of green pods plant-1 , green pod yield plant-1 , green pod yield ha-1, protein content, carbohydrate content , and moisture content at green and dry stages were noticed with combined application of 30 kg S + 2 kg B ha-1.However, application of 30 kg S along with 1 kg B ha-1 recorded maximum net returns.
