Effect of phosphorus and sulphur nutrition on yield attributes, yield of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)

Abstract

Increasing levels of Phosphorus and Sulphur enhanced the growth, Plant height, yield attributes like Number of nodules/plant, Dry weight of nodules, Number of pods/plant, Number of grains/pod, 1000-grain weight, grain yield, and straw yield showed maximum increase at 45 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 30 kg S ha-1, respectively. The increase in grain and straw yield with successive increase in phosphorus and sulphur levels, was more at 30 kg S ha-1 and 45 kg P2O5 kg ha-1. Overall the difference between 20 kg and 30 kg S ha-1 was not differed significantly. But the growth characters yield attributes and yield of Mungbean response significantly the highest level of phosphorus i.e. 45 kg P2O5 ha-1.
