Abstract
The field experiment was carried out at central research farm of department of soil science and agricultural chemistry, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during Rabi season 2023-24. The texture of the soil in the experimental region was sandy loam. The design was set up using randomized block design, with three levels of FYM (0:50:100), and NPK (0:50:100) at different levels. The treatment T9 (@100% NPKS + 100% FYM) gave thebest results in terms of plant height, number of siliqua plant-1, and total Field Pea yield. It also showed a slight decrease in pH, bulk density, and particle density; however, there was a significant increase in pore space, water holding capacity, EC, organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as plant growth and yield attributes. There was no discernible difference in the growth and production of Field Pea under control. The use of NPK and FYM, significantly increases the characteristics of growth and total yield attributes of Field Pea.
