19. The influence of different combination of Nitrogen and Phosphorus on mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nitrogen and phosphorus are essential nutrients that effect mungbean (vigna radiata L) growth and yield; therefore the experiment “influence of nitrogen and phosphorus on mungbean yield and yield components” in Palatoo Farm, AMKC Mardan was conducted during summer 2012 in a RCB design. The different combination of nitrogen and phosphorus (20-30, 40-60, 60-90 and 80-120 kg ha-1) was applied to Mungbean cultivar NM-92. To observe the combine application of N+P2O5 for the enhancing of yield and yield components of mungbean. Days to emergence were not affected. Days to flowering and maturity were decreased with N+P2O5 combine application. Plant height, Pods plant-1, Seed pod-1, 1000 grains weight, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index improved with N+P2O5 increasing levels. The application of 60+40 kg ha-1 was superior in term of grain yield. Hence it can be concluded from this experiment that the combine application of N+P2O5 at the rate of 60+40 kg ha-1 was beneficial in agro-ecological condition of Mardan.
