Response of different levels of NPK and Neem cake on soil health, growth and yield attributes of Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) Cv. T-19

A field experiment was conducted at Research farm, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Allahabad (U.P.) during the Rabi season of 2017-18 with the objective to response of different levels of NPK and Neem cake on soil health, growth and yield attributes of Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) Cv. T-19. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with nine treatment combinations, consisting of three N P K levels (0, 50 and 100%) and neem cake (0, 50 and 100%). It was observed that for postharvest, soil properties in treatment T8 (i.e. @N 40kg + P@ 50kg + K@ 40kg and neem cake @2.5 q ha) were improved significantly due to organic and inorganic use of inputs. Organic carbon (0.55%), Available nitrogen (301.37 kg ha), Phosphorus (27.03 kg ha), Potassium (194.17 kg ha) and respectively were found significantly higher as compared to other treatment combination.
