Effect of integrated nutrient management on yield attributes and economic of pea

Abstract

Input-output data on farm trails of three most popular pea varieties of eastern Uttar Pradesh cultivated under low cost input like biofertilizer were collected during2002-05 from the experimental field of the Indian Institute of vegetable Research Varanasi, The highest yield and benefit ratio per unit input ratio was found when the crop was cultivated under pressmud @2t/ha with recommended dose of NPK. A return ratio of 3.5 rupees per rupee invested was realized in fresh vegetable pea and pea seeds under pressmud with recommended dose of NPK accounted net profite of 102% to 140.7%. Maximum net return and cost benefit ratio 1: 3.5 was realized in Arkel when market as fresh vegetable. Maximum net return and cost benefit ratio was obtained when pea grain was marketed.
