Abstract

Nitrogen and phosphorus are essential nutrients that effect mungbean (vigna radiata L) growth and yield; therefore the experiment “influence of nitrogen and phosphorus on mungbean yield and yield components” in Palatoo Farm, AMKC Mardan was conducted during summer 2012 in a RCB design. The different combination of nitrogen and phosphorus (20-30, 40-60, 60-90 and 80-120 kg ha-1) was applied to Mungbean cultivar NM-92. To observe the combine application of N+P2O5 for the enhancing of yield and yield components of mungbean. Days to emergence were not affected. Days to flowering and maturity were decreased with N+P2O5 combine application. Plant height, Pods plant-1, Seed pod-1, 1000 grains weight, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index improved with N+P2O5 increasing levels. The application of 60+40 kg ha-1 was superior in term of grain yield. Hence it can be concluded from this experiment that the combine application of N+P2O5 at the rate of 60+40 kg ha-1 was beneficial in agro-ecological condition of Mardan.
