Keywords: Garden pea, Green pod yield, Growth, Organic liquid manure, Profitability, Quality
A field study was executed at the farm of Divyayan Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India during the winter season of 2021 in a randomised block design using 6 treatments (Panchagavya @10%, Sasyagavya @10%, Kunapajala @10%, Paudh Sanjeevani @10%, Veeja Sanjeevani @5% and control/water), replicated thrice to find out the influence of organic liquid manures on garden pea growth, yield, quality and profitability. Results depicted that spraying of Panchagavya @10% at 30 and 60 days after sowing registered maximum growth attributes, green pods/plant (18.4), seeds/pod (6.8), pod length (8.85 cm), 100 seed weight (22.9 g) and girth (4.97 cm), total green pod yield (107.5 q/ha), total sugar (12.19%), protein (19.1%) and vitamin-C (217.2 mg/100 g) of garden pea. Consequently, it ensured the highest gross return (₹5,37,660/ha), net return (₹4,54,558/ha) and B:C (6.47). Spraying of Paudh Sanjeevani @10% was also statistically equally effective in registering growth, green pods/plant, seeds/pod, green pod yield, quality, gross return, net return, and B:C of garden pea. Therefore, garden pea growers of Eastern Plateau and Hill zone of India can be benefitted through uses of Panchagavya or Paudh Sanjeevani @10% at 30 and 60 days after sowing.
