Abstract

The investigation was carried out during the rabi season of 2022-23, from 20 November 2022 to 4 March 2023, at the Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology's research station in Kalyanpur, Kanpur, India. The cultivar was a dwarf pod pea type, which is one of the cheapest seeds available in the North Indian Plain. The influence of organic fertilizer vermicompost and Sea weed extract on several aspects of crop physiological growth, development, and economical production was studied.

The experiment was conducted in Simple Block Design on the total area of 100m2 area divided in 20 sub plots of 5m2 area with total 6.25kg of vermicompost and seaweed extract spray at the post flowering stage at 100ml in required quantity of water.

Considerable positive effect recorded after the application of the above two organic supplements on parameters like Number of pods, number of seeds per pod , length of plant, number of primary branches, Length of pods, number of root nodules in roots as this was very important for the nitrogen fixation of atmosphere, number of flowers , green mass production. All the major parameters recorded had shown considerable increment at the particular life stages of the crop.
