Effect of Phosphorus and PSB on growth, yield and quality of Greengram Raghvendra Singh

Mungbean or greengram (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the important edible pulse crop. It belongs to family Papilionacea. It is the third important pulse crop cultivated throughout India (after chickpea and pigeon pea). Mungbean grown in summer season gives better yield than grown in rainy season, as summer crop is almost free from infestation of insects, pest and diseases. Still productivity of summer mungbean is low for due to major constraint of nutrient availability. Phosphorus helps in better nodulation and efficient functioning of nodule bacteria for fixation of N to be utilized by plants during grain- development stage, which in turn led to increase in green yield.
