Cultivating mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] holds a great potential to meet the food security needs with sustainability. However, cultivation challenges, like low seed quality and vulnerability to pests and diseases should be addressed to maximise the yield and quality of mungbean. In order to explore integrated seed treatment as a solution to these challenges eight seed treatment combinations, including chemicals (Bavistin + Cypermethrin), bioagents (Rhizobium + Trichoderma), botanicals (Neem oil) and domestic substances (Camphor) were evaluated for seed quality under field condition to evaluate crop growth and yield potential. Results indicated that seeds treated with combination of Bavistin (3 g/kg) + Cypermethrin (3 g/kg) + Rhizobium (25 g/kg) + Trichoderma (10 g/kg) + Neem oil (5 ml/kg) + Camphor (4 g/kg) led to better growth, yield and seed quality.
