The field experiment was conducted during rabi season in the year 2020-2021 at post graduate central research farm, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. In order to study the different Pre-sowing Seed Treatments of Field pea var. IPFD 9-2. The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD) with 13 treatments and 3 replications. The  treatments consists of T0- Control, T1- (Fym for 20hrs), T2- (Fym), T3- (GA3 @ 50ppm), T4- (GA3 @ 100ppm), T5- (CaCl2 @ 3% for 12hrs), T6- (CaCl2 @ 5% for 12hrs), T7- (NAA @ 50ppm for 12hrs), T8- (NAA @ 100ppm for 12hrs), T9- (KCl @ 3% for 12hrs), T10- (KCl @ 5% for 12hrs), T11- (IAA @ 50ppm for 12hrs), T12- (IAA @ 100ppm), . Pea seeds  were subjected to growth and yield parameters and showed better results in T₈ (NAA@100 ppm for 12hours) than the treatment whereas  minimum was observed in (control).
