Abstract

Phosphatic fertilizers play a vital role in enhancing mung bean production by not only improving crop yield but also increasing the quality of the produce. A field trial was done at the Nepal Polytechnic Institute research field to determine the effect of different levels of phosphorus on yield of Mung bean at Bharatpur, Chitwan during the summer season 2024. The test was carried out as per Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. There were eight level of phosphorous i.e. P0 (T1), P30 (T2), P40 (T3), P50 (T4), P60 (T5), P70 (T6), P80 (T7), and P90 (T8) taken as treatment. Nitrogen and potash @ 20 kg/ha each were given through Urea and Muriate of potash and phosphorus through single super phosphate as a dose applied in treatments. Findings revealed that the application of different level of phosphorus significantly enhanced the grain yield. The maximum grain yield was obtained from P90 (1.53 t/ha) followed by P70 (1.33 t/ha) and P80 (1.27 t/ha) which are statistically similar to P60 and P50, whereas the minimum grain yield (0.79 t/ha) was obtained from P0 applied plot. The test weight was maximum (37.21 gm) in P90, which statistically is at par with all treatments except control. It is concluded that P2O5 at 40 to 90 kg/ha has no significant difference increased productivity of Mung bean under rainfed conditions of Chitwan.
