Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out on mungbean at Farm of Rama University, Uttar Pradesh, Kanpur during kharif 2022. The soil of the experimental field may be characterized as sandy loam in texture. The treatment comprising four varieties of mungbean viz. C₁: PDM-139, C₂: IPM 2-3, C₃: Meha, C_4: IPM 2-14. Four levels of nutrient management viz. N₀: Control, N₁: 10 kg N + 20 kg P₂O₅ + 12.5 kg ZnSO₄.H₂O ha^-1+ seed treated with rhizobium culture + PSB @ 2.5 kg ha^-1 in soil, N₂: 20 kg N + 40 kg P₂O₅ +25 kg ZnSO₄.H₂O ha^-1 and N_3: 20 kg N + 40 kg P₂O₅ + 25 kg ZnSO₄.H₂O ha^-1 + seed treated with rhizobium culture + PSB @ 2.5 kg ha^-1 in soil with 3 replication in factorial RBD. Based on the results of the field experimentation it can be inferred that potential seed yield and economic nutrient management can be achieved in greengram by application of 20 kg N + 40 kg P₂O₅ + 25 kg ZnSO₄.H₂O ha^-1 + seed treated with rhizobium culture + PSB @ 2.5 kg ha^-1 in soil in kharif of greengram in Central alluvial soils of Uttar Pradesh
