Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the research fields of school of agriculture Department of Agronomy, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara (Punjab) during rabi season in the year 2021-2022. The objective of the study was to evaluate “Effect of nano nutrients on pea growth and yield Pisum sativum L.’’. The experiment was arranged with Randomized block design with 7 treatments and replicated thrice. Among various treatments 0.1% Nano Zinc + 0.2% Nano Urea at 30 DAS showed a significant impact on the growth, yield, Economics of field pea. Higher growth parameters viz., plant height, number of branches/plant, number of leaves/plant, plant dry matter, nodule number/plant, nodule weight/plant, crop growth rate etc. were observed in T4 (0.1% Nano Zinc + 0.2% Nano Urea at 30 DAS) at every growth stage. It also showed significant impact on yield and its attributes while higher number of pods/plant, pod length, number of seeds/pod, fresh weight/plant, pod yield, stover yield and harvest index was noticed in T4 (0.1% Nano Zinc + 0.2% Nano Urea at 30 DAS). Economics like higher gross returns, net returns, and B:C ratio was observed in T4 (0.1% Nano Zinc + 0.2% Nano Urea at 30 DAS).
