Late-sown vegetable peas often suffer yield loss and higher disease incidence due to unfavourable weather, yet they offer better market returns. The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of silicon on different varieties of vegetable pea (Pisum sativum L.). The results showed that the performance of both varieties (AP-1 and KP) differed significantly for plant height, number of pods/plant, and green pod yield, and they also responded to silicon application. Simple linear regression analysis showed that Si application of more than 2 ml L-1 could give detrimental results. Earliness of a variety shows its genetic potential; findings revealed that it could not be altered by the application of silicon. Regarding quality parameters, such as dry matter (%) in green pods and PLW (%) could not be improved by silicon application. Hence, it is obvious from the findings that the variety AP-1 with Si @ 2 ml L-1 would be suggested for the North-Western plains of Uttar Pradesh, India.
