Influence of silicon on growth parameters of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Influence of silicon on growth parameters of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)” was conducted on Horticulture Farm, Department of Horticulture, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, Rajasthan. The thirteen treatments
combination for pea crop was evaluated with four replications under randomized block design. The results exhibit the significant effect of various treatment combinations on growth parameters of pea during the experimentation. Maximum plant height at 60 DAS (52.80 cm) and at final harvest (89.90 cm), pod length (8.54 cm), number of pods plant-1 (27.05), number of grains pod-1
(8.80) were obtained in treatment T12 (Soil application of Silica @ 200 kg ha-1+ Foliar application of Silica @ 3%).
