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 & 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.
Key words :
Boron, Nutrient contents, Nutrient uptake, Pisum sativum, Sulphur, Yield attributes.
