A study on the effect of different types of organic manure on the growth and yield of pea under organic manure based system was conducted at Research form center, Department of Agriculture Science & Technology, AKS University, Satna (M.P.) to access the potential of these different organic manure in replacing the chemical fertilizer for pea production in research form center. The study area size was carried out in 2.25 m × 2 m with 12 sub-plots for each treatment. The total number of 12 treatment and three replication were applied i.e. vermicompost@ 6 t/ha, mushroom spent@ 3 q/ha, paddy straw @ 5 t/ha, Rice husk @ 5. t/ha, Mushroom spent (25%) + Vermicompost (25%) + Paddy straw (25%) + Rice husk (25%), Mushroom spent (50%) + Vermicompost (50%), Mushroom spent (50%) + Paddy straw (50%), Mushroom spent (50%) + Rice husk (50%), Vermicompost (50%) + Paddy straw (50%), Vermicompost (50%) + Rice husk (50%), Paddy straw (50%) + Rice husk (50%), and control respectively by applying the Randomized Block Design (RBD) in the present study of the one year crop data trail, it was found out that the organic manure vermicompost had marked the influence on the growth parameter like plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant, number of peas per pod, root length, and pod yield. The plant under vermicompost found out to be the most effective for the marketable yield of pea than the other treatment. The vermicompost treatment gives the highest marketable yield of 52.50 q /ha. So the treatment vermicompost emerged the best for the growth and yield attribute of pea as well as for vermicompost based to suite the environmental condition of Satna region.
