Effect of nutrient management on mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at “Effect of nutrient management on mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)” conducted during kharif 2024 at Agriculture farm, Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jaipur on loamy sandy soi. Results revealed that application of 50% RDF + 2% NPK mixture (12:32:16) spray at 20 and 40 DAS to the mung bean crop significantly number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pods, seed, straw and biological yield of green gram as compared to control RDF (20 kg N, 40 kg P2O5), 50% RDF + 2% urea spray at 40 DAS, 50% RDF + 2% NPK mixture (12:32:16) spray at 40 DAS, 75% RDF + Rhizobium (25 g kg-1 seeds) and 75% RDF + PSB (25 g kg-1 seeds) and remained statistically at par with 50% RDF + 2% urea spray at 20 and 40 DAS. The highest net returns (₹ 96458 ha-1) were obtained with 50% RDF + 2% NPK mixture (12:32:16) spray at 20 and 40 DAS followed by 50% RDF + 2% urea spray at 20 and 40 DAS (₹ 91999 ha-1), 50% RDF + 2% NPK mixture (12:32:16) spray at 40 DAS (₹ 80887 ha-1. The highest B: C ratio B:C ratio (4.25) was obtained with 50% RDF + 2% NPK mixture (12:32:16) spray at 20 and 40 DAS.
