Abstract
A field experiment was performed in the course of rabi year 2017-18.to study the effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and biofertilizers on the protein content of seeds of garden peas (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Arkel. The experiment was set up in RBD, with 11 treatments in three replications comparing nitrogen and phosphorus levels, as well as bio-fertilizers, to the control.A significant increase in protein content from 15.60% to 22.06% when 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kgper hectare P + Rhizobium + PSB was applied (T5), maximal nitrogen concentration in plants was 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kg per hectare P + Rhizobium + PSB (T5) (2.30 per cent). T5 was statistically comparable to 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kg per hectare P + Rhizobium (T3) and 20 kg per hectare N + 40 kg per hectare P + PSB (T4).
