A field experiment was conducted at the Himalayan University Agriculture Field, Jollang, Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh during the Rabi season of 2025–26 with seven treatments replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design (RBD), to determine the “Integrated Nutrient Management: An Impact on Nutritional Food Security, Growth and Yield of Pea (Pisum sativum L.) in Arunachal Pradesh”. The available nutrient status of the experimental field showed high nitrogen (N), low phosphorus (P) and medium potassium (K) levels. The experiment included the following treatments i.e., T1 – Control, T2 – 50% NPK + Vermicompost + Rhizobium, T3 – 75% NPK + Vermicompost + Rhizobium, T4 – 75% NPK + 25% Vermicompost + Rhizobium, T5 – 100% NPK + 0% Vermicompost + Rhizobium, T6 – 125% NPK + Vermicompost + Rhizobium and T7 – 150% NPK + 150% Vermicompost + Rhizobium. Highest number of pods per plant (29), number of seeds per pod (8.6), and test weight (13.86 g) were recorded with application of T7 (150% NPK + 150% Vermicompost + Rhizobium). Lowest values for these parameters were recorded under absolute control (T1). Significantly higher seed yield (11.02 q ha⁻¹), biological yield (25.25 q ha⁻¹) and harvest index (44.60%) were recorded with application of T7 followed by T4. Significantly lower seed yield, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index were recorded under absolute control treatment T1.
