Nutrient Management in Pea:
A basal dose of 30 kg N per hectare at planting is sufficient for stimulating early growth.
- Higher dose of nitrogen has adverse effect on nodulation fixation.
- The crop gives good response to phosphorus application as it favours nitrogen fixation by increasing nodule formation. It also increases yield and quality of pea.
- Potassic fertilizers also have effect in increasing the yield and nitrogen fixation ability of the plant.
General Recommendations:
General recommended fertilizer doses depend upon the:
- Fertility of soil and amount of organic manure applied to the crop.
- Sowing conditions: Whether field is irrigated or rainfed?
- If the crop is rainfed, doses become just half.
How much to apply?
- 15-20 t/ha of well-decomposed FYM is incorporated into the soil.
- For the better yield in pea use 10 kg Urea, 50 kg DAP, 15 kg MOP and 6 kg Sulphur 90% per acre during the land preparation use the half quantity of urea and the full quantity of remain fertilizer and remaining quantity of urea used in two split doses during the irrigation.
