Abstract

Nutrient management is critical in agricultural crops for productivity. Micronutrients, while required in small amounts, are vital for several physiological processes, hence improving crop development, yield and nutritional value. The Department of Agronomy at SHUATS in Prayagraj, U.P., conducted a field experiment on the Field Pea crop during the rabi season of 2022. The soil in the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, neutral in pH (7.2), with EC- 0.26 (dS/m0, organic carbon (0.72%), and accessible N (178.48kg/ha), P (27.80 kg/ha), and K (233.24kg/ha). The treatment included control 2t/ha neem cake 2t/ha vermicompost, 10t/ha  of farm yard manure, and foliar application of zinc at 1.0% resulted in greater plant height 94.82 cm), nodules number per plant (5.63), pod number per plant (19.09) and number of seeds per plant (5.92) and seed yield (2.73 kg/ha).
