Abstract:
Among the pulse crop, moong bean [Vigna radiata] is one of the important edible beans in the human diet. Limitation in the production of moong bean in India indicates a lot of factor like lack of proper irrigation, soil texture, suitable climate and soil fertility status. According to criteria of essentiality of nutrient, all the plant nutrients are equally important for the proper growth and development of crop. Among all the factors, fertilizer application also plays important role the adequate production. This review paper focuses on the importance of some macronutrient fertilizer applications and its response to moong bean crop in terms of grain yield and other growth parameters. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and Sulphur fertilization in insufficient or unbalanced levels can impede or restrict a plant's ability to grow, develop, and produce. Legume crops can meet 80–90% of their nitrogen requirements from biological nitrogen fixation process. The most important way to increasing moong bean production and quality is nutrient management and it is one of the substantial pulse crops that require little input. It provides food and fodder and is crucial for preserving the fertility of the soil.
