ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted at the Postgraduate student research farm, Department of Agronomy, School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, Punjab, during the kharif season (June-September) of 2016 to find out the Impact of phosphorous levels on the relative yield of kharif mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek). The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications and constitute of four levels of phosphorous levels viz., 15 kg P2O5 ha-1, 30 kg P2O5 ha-1, 45 kg P2O5 ha-1, control (no phosphorous application). Results revealed that most of the growth characters such as plant height, number of branch plant-1, dry weight of leaf, stem, root and total dry weight were significantly increased due to application of phosphate fertilizer over control on the similar way application of phosphorous significantly increased the yield and yield contributing characters also, such as number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per plant, seed index, seed yield, straw yield and harvest index. The highest grain yield (1262.81 kg ha-1) was obtained with 45 kg P2O5 ha-1 having an increase of 63.51% over the control and the lowest with no phosphorous application (673.08) while the highest grain yield was obtained by the treatment having an interaction of 45 kg P2O5 ha-1.
Key words: Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek, Phosphorous levels, Growth and Yield characters of mung bean.
