Title                                                       :    Efficacy of Rhizobium culture in pea under acidic rain-fed condition.

 

Problem                                             :          Low yield of pea in rain-fed upland due to inadequate supply of nutrients, loss in yield is about 35% to 45%.

 

Technology Assessment/Refinement :

                                                 T1-     Farmer’s practice (8:20:0::N:P₂O₅:K₂O) ha^-1

                                                 T2-     100% RDF (20:40:20:: N:P₂O₅:K₂O) ha^-1

                                                 T3-     50% P,K(20:10::P₂O₅:K₂O)+ Rhizobium culture

 

Replication                                       :         10

 

Final recommendation for micro level situation

                                                  :         Use of Rhizobium culture with  50% DAP & MOP,not only increased the net profit per ha but also increased the fertility of soil.

 

Constaints identified                 :         Method of seed treatment and sowing of seed were faulty.

                                                            Good quality Rhizobium culture was not available in local market.

 

Farmer’s reaction                        :         They are interested to adopt this technology.
