Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was conducted on clay terrace soils of Madhupur Tract to study the response of fourteen treatment combinations of different fertilizers on plant characters, yield, crude protein content and nutrient uptake of garden pea. The highest yield of green pod (13.12 t ha^-1) and matured seed (2.27 t ha^-1) was obtained with the application of N₆₀+(P₂₀S) 7S+(K₂₀) 60 kg ha^-I. The maximum plant height (94.44cm), maximum number of branches per plant (3.02), maximum number of pods per plant (8.07) and highest protein content (24.39%) increased with . N₉₀+(P₂₀shs+(K₂₀) 60 kg ha^-1, conversely, application of these nutrients gave 4.5% and 19.3 % lower yield of green and matured seed respectively over the highest yield obtained. N addition markedly contributed to increase the crude protein production as compared to P and K applications. The maximum total uptake of N, P and K were 123.62,4.78 and 69.03 kg ha^-1, respectively and was in the order ofN>K>P.

Keywords: Grean pea, Fertilizer, Crude protein

Location: Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU) research farm at Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-1997

End Date: 00-00-1998

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Gardenpea

Objectives:

To determine the optimum dose of nutrients for obtaining sustainable yield of a new genotype of pea.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted during the winter season of 1997-98 at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU) research farm at Joydebpur, Gazipur (24⁰ 05' N and 90⁰16' E), located in the Agro-ecological Zone 28, known as Madhupur Tract. The physico-chemical properties ofthe experimental soils are presented. Soil pH was determined by glass electrode pH meter in soil suspension having soil: w.ater ratio of 1 : 2.5. Organic carbon was determined by wet combustion method. Total.phosphorus content of soil and plant samples were determined by perchloric acid digestion assay using perchloric acid 1 (HCI0₄) and nitric acid (HN0₃) by double beam spectrophotometer. For available phosphorus of soil extracted by 0.5 M NaHC0₃ (pH 2.5) and determined colorimetric ally using molybdate blue method. Total potassium content of soil and plant samples were determined by perchloric acid digestion assay method and was measured by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The dimension of each plot was 2.8 m x 2.0 m having a plot to plot and block to block spacing of 0.75 m and 1.0 m, respectively. An advanced line of pea (Local white) was used as a test crop in the experiment. Fourteen treatment combinations consisted of four levels of N, P, K and two levels of inoculum as Rhizobium strain and one level of manure deployed. A common dose of 20, 1, 1, and 1 kg ha^-1 each of S, Zn,Mo and B were : applied for all treatments, respectively. Full amount of P as TSP, K as MP, S as gypsum Zn as zinc oxide, Mo as ammonium molybdate, B as borax, cowdung and half ofN as urea were applied during land preparation. The remaining quantity of N was top-dressed at pre-flowering stage. The recommended packages of practices were done during the growing period of the crop. Data on different parameters were taken during the study. Pods were harvested at two different stages of the maturity. The first pod harvest was done at green seed stage from half portion of the plot and, the remaining half were kept to allow the pods to get maturity. The crude protein has been estimated by multiplying the % N (determined) with a factor 6.25. Seeds were treated with Rhizobial inoculants before sowing as per the treatment. The mixture of three strain, BINA-MO-634, BINA-MO-L3 and. BJNA-MA-L3 were used as a source of inoculum.

Achievement/Findings:

The above findings revealed that without applicatin or excess application of any one of N, P and K is determental to higher yield of green pod and matured seed of garden pea. Seed inoculation iwht Rhizobium strain with starter doze of N (20 kg ha^-1) executed in T₁₂ treatment was found to be an important means for reducing N application by 200% without hampering the crop yield. The additional Fertilizer N @ 15-30 kg ha^-1 with inoculation of Rhizobium strain has been found to be efficient, which is in agreement with the present findings. From the study it is revealed that N addition to the soil had contributed more in increasing the crude protein of both green and matured seeds of garden pea as compared to other two nutrients like P and K. The uptake of P and K by the crop had folowed almost the same trend as was found for N. The highest total uptake of 4.78 and 69.03 and kg ha^-1P and K, respectively were found in T₃ treatment. From the view point of seed yield and nutrient uptake by the crop treatment T₃ [N₆₀+(P₂₀₅) 75 + (K₂₀) 60 kg ha^-1] using moderate amount of each of the three nutrients and giving the highest uptake may be considered as the best combination of different nutrients for successful cultivation of garen pea on clay loam soil and Madhupur Tract.
