This study was conducted to assess the effect of integrated nutrient management practices on the growth and yield performance of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.). The experiment was arranged in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and eight nutrient management treatments: T₀ (Control), T₁ (50% RDF + vermicompost), T₂ (75% RDF + vermicompost), T₃ (100% RDF + vermicompost), T₄ (50% RDF + vermiwash), T₅ (75% RDF + vermiwash), T₆ (100% RDF + vermiwash), and T₇ (100% RDF). Significant variations were observed among the treatments for growth and yield-related parameters. The treatment T₃ (100% RDF + vermicompost) produced the highest vegetative growth, recording maximum plant height (68.90 cm), number of branches per plant (6.03), dry matter accumulation (37.61 g m⁻² day⁻¹), number of nodules per plant (34.19), and root dry weight (1.72 g). The earliest flowering (55.51 days to 75% flowering) and shortest duration to maturity (109.79 days) were observed in the control treatment (T₀). Among the yield attributes, the highest number of pods per plant (20.09), pod weight per plant (44.69 g), number of seeds per pod (7.61), seed weight per plant (21.21 g), 1000-seed weight (194.19 g), and shelling percentage (53.37%) were recorded under T₇ (100% RDF). The findings indicate that integrated nutrient management, particularly the combined application of recommended fertilizer doses and organic amendments, can significantly improve the growth, productivity, and yield attributes of garden pea.
