Farmers of Lahaul were using upto four times higher seed rates of peas which was not only their concern but of the scientists and the policy makers. Therefore, seed rates (100,150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 1^/ha) with recommended (20:60:30 :: kg N:P205,:K20/ha) and 150% NPK were evaluated at Highland Research and Extension Centre, Kukumseri during 2010 and 2011 to find out optimum seeding rate of peas under dry temperate region of Northwestern Himalayas. It was observed that emergence count and final plant stand of peas increased with increase in the seed rate upto 300 1^/ha during 2010 and upto 350 kg/ha during 2011. Pods/plant was also significantly affected during 2010. But there was consistent decrease in pods/plant beyond the seed rate of 150 kg/ha. Seeds/pod and seed weight/pod were not significantly affected during both the years. Peas green pod yield was significantly increased upto a seed rate of 250 kg/ha during 2010 and at 200 kg/ha during 2011. Yield attributes and yield of peas were not significantly influenced due to fertility levels.

Farmers of Lahaul were using upto four times higher seed rates of peas which was not only their concern but of the scientists and the policy makers. Therefore, seed rates (100,150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 1^/ha) with recommended (20:60:30 :: kg N:P205,:K20/ha) and 150% NPK were evaluated at Highland Research and Extension Centre, Kukumseri during 2010 and 2011 to find out optimum seeding rate of peas under dry temperate region of Northwestern Himalayas. It was observed that emergence count and final plant stand of peas increased with increase in the seed rate upto 300 1^/ha during 2010 and upto 350 kg/ha during 2011. Pods/plant was also significantly affected during 2010. But there was consistent decrease in pods/plant beyond the seed rate of 150 kg/ha. Seeds/pod and seed weight/pod were not significantly affected during both the years. Peas green pod yield was significantly increased upto a seed rate of 250 kg/ha during 2010 and at 200 kg/ha during 2011. Yield attributes and yield of peas were not significantly influenced due to fertility levels.
