The goal of this study was to observe the impact of agro-management practices like, irrigation and nutrition on two pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars named Climax and Meteor at Horticultural Research Area, U.A.F. Growth parameters like Main stem Length (cm), number of leaves per plant, leaf Area (cm2), number of pods per plant, length of pod (cm) number of seeds per pod and reproductive attributes like 1000 seed weight, seed yield/hectare were studied. Different combinations of irrigation, potassium and phosphorus fertilizers were used as treatments in earlier experiments to study their performance and the best one selected for pea crop. The combinations used were T0 (Irrigation up to seed filling), T1 (Irrigation up to seed filling + P120 kg per ha), T2 (Irrigation up to seed filling + K100 kg per ha), T3 (Irrigation up to seed filling + P120 kg per ha+ K100 kg per ha). Climax gave better seed yield 2.24 tons as compared to Meteor with 2.33 tons per ha seed yield. Irrigation up to seed filling + P120 kg per ha+ K100 kg per ha (T3) showed better performance for vegetative and reproductive parameters similarly highest seed yield 2.63 tons per ha were found in T3 for both cultivars of pea as compared to other combinations.
