To study the effect of phosphorus and KSB levels on growth and yield of field pea, an experiment was conducted at the Research farm of the Department of Agronomy, School of Agriculture Science, Technology & Research, Sardar Patel University, Balaghat (M.P.) during winter season of 2022-23. The experiment consisted of a randomized block design having a Factorial arrangement with three replications. In this experiment, 12 treatment combinations including four levels of phosphorus and treatments were P0- 0 kg/ha, P1- 25 kg/ ha, P2- 50 kg/ ha and P3- 75 kg/ha, while KSB levels were tested are K1- 5 l it/ha, K2- 10 lit/ha and K3- 15 lit/ha. During the study, it was found that phosphorus and KSB application significantly affected plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, length of pod, number of grains per pod, seed index, grain &straw yield and protein content of field pea. Higher plant height (53.24 cm) and number of number of branches per plant(11.40) at maximum crop growth stage of 90 were recorded in plots treated with phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha in combination with the application of KSB @ 15 lit/ha. Similarly, resulted in maximum number of pods per plant (23.07), length of pod (12.19 cm), number of grains per pod (6.53), seed index (21.98 g), grain yield/ha (26.86 q/ha), straw yield/ha (42.03 q/ha) and protein content (22.72 %) recorded under same treatment combination of phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha with application of KSB @ 15 lit/ha. It was concluded from the results that the application of phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha with the application of KSB @ 15 lit/ha improved yield and yield components of field pea.
