Effect of stress mitigating chemicals and sulphur on plant population and grain yield of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during the kharif season 2019 to investigate the effect of stress mitigating chemicals and sulphur on plant population and grain yield of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]. The experiment laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with sixteen treatment combinations comprised of four stress mitigating chemicals and four sulphur levels with three replications. The result shows that initial plant population of mungbean was found unaffected by all the treatments. Application of thiourea @ 500 ppm (FI) enhanced significantly final plant population and grain yield of mungbean and significant increment in both traits were also observed in the treatment of sulphur @ 40 kg/ha. The interaction effect of stress mitigating chemicals and sulphur levels had a significant effect on grain yield of mungbean.
