Effect of Organic Manures, PSB and Phosphorus Fertilization on Yield and Economics of Mungbean Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek.

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2005 and 2006 sandy loam soil to find out the effect of organic manures, PSB and phosphorus fertilization on yield and economics of mungbean Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek. Results indicated that response of or ganic manures, PSB and phosphorus, have markedly influenced the yield and monetary return of kharif mungbean. Effect was found to be significant and higher seed, straw and biological yield could be obtained with application of vermicompost at 2 t/ha (8.09, 16.24 and 24.33 q/ha), seed inoculation with PSB (7.39, 15.56 and 22.95 q/ha) and 40 kg P 2 O 5 /ha (8.03, 16.29 and 24.33 q/ha) independently. However , based on economics, treatments FYM at 4 t/ha, 40 kg P 2 O 5 / ha and seed inoculation with PSB were found to be equally effective.
