INFLUENCE OF SPACING AND MACRONUTRIENTS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF GARDEN PEA

Abstract

Plant spacing and different level of macronutrients are investigated to find out their effect on growth and yield of garden pea.The experiment was conducted in the Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of November, 2018 to January, 2019. The experiment consisted of two factors; 3 levels of plant spacing. S
