Abstract

Background and Objectives: The careless use of chemical fertilizers has led to numerous environmental issues. A key strategy to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers and mitigate their adverse effects is the application of organic fertilizers.
Materials and Methods: The factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications during 2022. The first factor consisted of three levels of supplemental irrigation [no irrigation (control), one irrigation at 50% flowering stage, two irrigations at 50% flowering and 50% podding stages] and organic fertilizers at three levels [no application of organic fertilizer (control), application of vermicompost at 10 tons ha-1, application of cow manure at 20 tons ha-1].
 
Results: The resultdns showed that in comparison to no irrigation, once and twice supplementary irrigation decreased the contribution of total plant in grain yield by 15.1% and 43.2%, respectively. When supplementary irrigation is applied once, as opposed to without irrigation, the digestible dry matter, total digestible nutrients, and net energy for lactation increase by 3.1, 2.4, and 2%, respectively, and when it is applied twice, the increases are 4.3, 5.1, and 4.2 percent, respectively. When compared to no-fertilizer conditions, the use of animal manure and vermicompost reduced the contribution of total plant in grain yield by 38.9% and 44.3%, respectively, while increasing dry matter intake by 3.9% and 14.1% and relative feed value by 3 and 14.2%. Additionally, under non-irrigated conditions, the use of vermicompost and animal manure increased grain yield by 99% and 106.8, respectively, over the absence of fertilizer.
 Conclusion: The findings suggest that supplemental irrigation and the use of organic fertilizers can significantly enhance the yield and quality of fodder in pea plants cultivated in rainfed conditions.
