Field experiment was conducted to study the response of green gram (Vigna radiata L.) varieties to integrated nutrient management. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. The main plot treatments were four varieties, viz., Kopergaon, AKM-8802, Phule mung-2 and Vaibhav. The sub plot treatments comprised five nutrient management treatments viz., control (T1), Seed inoculation with Rhizobium and PSB biofertilizers @ 25 g each kg−1 seeds (T2), RDF (25:50:00 N: P2O5: K2O kgha−1 (T3), 75% RDF + Biofertilizers (T4) and RDF + Biofertilizers (T5). Thus, there were in all 20 treatment combinations. From the present investigation it can be concluded that for obtaining higher yields by sustaining soil fertility in terms of available N and P2O5, green gram variety Phule mung-2 be grown during summer season with the application of RDF (25:50:00 N: P2O5: K2O kgha−1) along with seed inoculation of Rhizobium and PSB biofertilizers @ 25 g each kg−1 seeds.
