The present investigations were carried out at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Crops, Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan (H.P.) during winter season of 2001-2002. The treatments included four levels of potassium (K: 32.5 kg K2O/ha, K2: 65 kg K2O/ha. K3: 97.5 kg K2O/ha and K₁: 130 kg K2O/ha), two methods of potassium application (M₁: whole applied as a basal dose, M2: 50% applied as basal dose and 50% through split dose) and two sources of potassium (S₁: potassium chloride, S2: potassium sulphate). It was observed that application of 65 kg K2O/ha as 50% basal and 50% split as side dressing at flowering stage through potassium sulphate resulted in a maximum seed yield in pea cv. Ankel.
