Abstract
Study was conducted to determine the effect of varying levels of nitrogen(0,25 and 50 kqha") and phosphorus (0,50,75 and 100 kqha") on the yield and quality of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivar NM-98 during the year 2001. Although plant population was not affected significantly but various growth and yield components were significantly affected by varying levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. A fertilizer combination of 25-75 kg NP ha" resulted in maximum seed yield (1112.96 kgha'l). Maximum protein content (25.6%) were obtained from plots fertilized @ 50-75 kg NP ha' followed by protein content of 25.1% obtained from plots fertilized @ 25-75 kg NP na'. Highest net income (Rs. 21374.9) was also obtained by applying Nand P @ 25 and 75 kg NP ha', respectively. Keywords: Mungbean, nitrogen, phosphorus
