Abstract:
This study explores the impact of phosphorus and sulphur fertilizers on summer mungbean cultivation in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Utilizing a Randomized Block Design with varying nutrient levels, the research reveals that meticulous nutrient management significantly enhances key growth parameters, seed characteristics, and overall yield. Phosphorus positively influences vegetative growth and reproduction, while sulphur plays a crucial role in growth, nodulation, and seed development. Elevated phosphorus and sulphur levels not only improve vegetative growth but also positively influence nodulation, essential for nitrogen fixation. In the context of rising fertilizer costs, determining the optimal dosage of these nutrients becomes imperative for economic feasibility and enhanced productivity. This study provides practical insights for sustainable and economically viable nutrient management practices, contributing to improved crop yields and the well-being of farming communities in Uttarakhand.
