Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted on effects of Hibor SF on soil health, growth and yield of Pea (
Pisum sativum L.) Cv. Arkel at the Soil Science Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture & Technology Sciences during Rabi season 2017-2018. The number of pods plant
-1 (17.75), number of seeds pod
-1 (8.25) and pod yield (89.36 q/ha
-1) were significantly increased with the application of (Full Recommended of NPK with (Hibor SF (20 Kg) + Micronutrients Mixture). The maximum yield was obtained in T
1 – (Full Recommended of NPK with Hibor SF (10 Kg) + Micronutrients Mixture). Growth parameters, soil properties, increased significantly with the application of 100% recommended dose of NPK and micronutrients i.e. T
2 – [Full Recommended of NPK with Hibor SF (20 Kg) + Micronutrients Mixture], pH, EC (dSm
-1)
and bulk density (gcm
-3) were decreased with increase in fertilizer levels. The lowest values related to all parameters were obtained in control treatment. Cost benefit ratio (C: B) 1:5.4 was highest in T
7 - (i.e. Hibor SF 10 Kg ha
-1) Full Recommended of NPK with Hibor SF (10 Kg) + Micronutrients Mixture was more profitable Rs. 223400.00 ha
-1 than any other treatments and recommendations.
