The present investigation entitled “Effect of Rhizobium and Micronutrients on yield and yield attributing characters of Garden pea (Pisum sativum L.)” was carried out during rabi Season, 2019–2020 at Research Farm, Chhatabara, Bhubaneswar. The Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) used for garden pea was 55:70:50 kg NPK/ha along with FYM @ 30t ha-1.The chemical fertilizers were applied in three levels i.e. 50 %, 75 % and 100 % of the RDF with various combinations of rhizobium culture and micronutrients. The experiment was carried out to study the effect of rhizobium and micronutrients at different levels of fertilizer on yield attributing characters of garden pea. Application of different levels of N, P, K in combination with rhizobium and micronutrients increase the different yield attributing characters, like maximum number of pods per plant (44.66), number of seeds per pod (7.1), pod length (9.21cm), pod girth (4.16cm), individual pod weight (6.12g) and pod yield (65.66 q/ha-1) was observed in the treatment. Thus, it may be suggested that recommended dose of fertilizer (55:70:50 kg NPK/ha-1) with rhizobium (@ 400g /2 kg. of seed) and micronutrients (0.2%) application gave maximum yield in case of garden pea where all yield attributing characters mentioned above has topped the list.
