Abstract: This study was focused on the assessment of the efficiency of Ganga sludge-based organic fertilizers on growth and yield parameters of a leguminous crop pea (Pisum sativum). The plant parameters like plant height, total biomass (root and shoot), leaf area, total chlorophyll, number of pods per plant and pods weight per plot were investigated during this study. All fertilizer treatments have the potential to affect the growth and yield of pea crops when used singly or in combination. Similarly, effects on the increase in leaf area also showed increased content of total chlorophyll. From these findings, it was concluded that organic fertilizers from sludge and their effects on the growth and yield of peas is an efficient and eco-friendly way to manage Ganga sludge. Apart from peas such experiments should also be carried out on other crops.
