Abstract: The studies were undertaken to investigate the response of mungbean cultivar NM-92 to different seed rates and phosphorus levels. Seeding rate of 25 kg ha^-1 resulted in significantly maximum seed yield of 861.70 kg ha^-1. Similarly, maximum seed yield of 961.90 kg ha^-1 was obtained by applying 85 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 which was, however, statistically similar to the seed yield of 868.4 kg ha^-1 obtained with 60 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1.
