Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in the field at Himalayan University, Jollang, Arunachal Pradesh during the rabi season of the year 2020- 2021. The field trial was designed based on Randomized Block Design (RBD) with four replications and six treatments. The treatments consist of three factors namely vermicompost (0, 1 & 2 kg) Neem cake (0, 0.25 & 0.5 t/ha and SSP (single super phosphate) (4 g). The result shows that the application of different level of the combination of vermicompost and neem cake increased the growth of field peas. It was also concluded from the trial that the application of fertilizer in treatment T2 (Vermicompost 50%+ neemcake 50%) was found to increase growth attributes.
