The influence of different combination of Nitrogen and Phosphorus on mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

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.
