A field experiment was conducted during 2005-07 at Almora, Uttarakhand to evaluate the effect of different organic
manures (farmyard manure, poultry manure and vermicompost) and biofertilizers [Rhizobium leguminosarum +
phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (Pseudomonas sp.)] on yield of organically, grown garden pea [Pisum sativum subsp.
hortense (Neilr.) Asch & Graebn] and on soil properties. Pod yields for all the treatments were significantly higher than
the control. In both the years, application of farmyard manure 10 tonnes/ha + poultry manure and vermicompost each
1.5 tonnes/ha + biofertilizers gave the highest pod yields (7.02 and 7.52 tonnes/ha) and it was significantly superior to
other treatments except farmyard manure 20 tonnes/ha + biofertilizers and application of farmyard manure 10 tonnes/ha
+ recommended NPK (20:26:33 kg/ha) through fertilizers. Application of farmyard manure 20 tonnes/ha + biofertilizers
resulted in the lowest soil bulk density (1.19 Mg/m3) compared to other treatments. The soil pH increased in all the
treatments compared to control. Similarly, soil organic C was significantly higher in all the treatments (1.21–1.30%)
