Response of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) To Different Levels of Phosphorus

M. Ayub, R. Ahmad, A. Tanveer, J. Iqbal and M.S. Sharar

Abstract: Seed yield in green gram was increased progressively with phosphorus application up to 75 kg P₂O₅ ha^–1. The application of P₂O₅ more than 75 kg ha^–1 depressed the yield and yield components. Maximum increase in seed yield, recorded at 75 kg P₂O₅ ha^–1 was about 92% of control. Higher seed yield with phosphorus application was related to the higher number of pod bearing branches, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 1000-grain weight. Protein contents were also influenced significantly by phosphorus application, being maximum (27.01%) at phosphorus level of 75 kg ha^–1. Phosphorus application of 75 kg ha^–1 seems to be the optimum level for harvesting higher yield in green gram.
