VAM is a fungus that penetrates the roots of a plant to helps them to take nutrients from the soil. VAM help in nutrient uptake mainly of phosphorus, zinc and sulphur. The VAM hyphae also help is retaining moisture around the root zone of plants. It increase the resistance to root borne or soil borne pathogens and nematodes. They also mobilize different nutrients like Cu (copper), K (potassium), Al (aluminium), Mn (manganese), Fe (iron) and Mg (magnesium) from the soil to the plant roots.

Nutrient Management in Pea

06/11/2017Posted on

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.
