Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to study the response of mung bean to phosphorus and micronutrients viz. Zn, Mo and B with Rhizobium inoculation on the cultivars Pusa 105 and Pusa Vishal of mung bean (Vigna radiata) with different combinations. The Rhizobium inoculation with phosphorus 40 Kg/ha, Zn 4 Kg/ha, Mo 0.6 Kg/ha and B 0.1 Kg/ha gave the highest N and P uptake and total sugar in the seeds of green gram.
