Impact of integrated microfertilizer and growth regulator treatments with rhizobium inoculation on pea variety development and productivity

This study investigates the impact of integrated applications of microfertilizers, growth regulators, and bacterial inoculants on the yield, protein content, and growth parameters of two pea varieties, Alfa and Oscar, over a four-year period. Field trials demonstrated that treatments with Groundfix® and Phytohelp®, particularly when combined with Rhizobium inoculation, significantly increased yield, pod number, biomass, and protein content in both varieties, with Oscar showing a slightly higher response. The results align with existing research on microbial and nutrient management in legumes, underscoring the benefits of these treatments for enhancing crop productivity and nutritional quality. These findings suggest that combined biological and agronomic treatments can contribute to sustainable, high-yielding pea cultivation. Future research should explore the long-term effects of these treatments on soil health and their potential application to other legume species.
