Effect of Inorganic Fertilizer, Vermicompost and Biofertilizer on Growth, Yield and Nutrient Uptake by Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.)

A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Mewar University Gangrar, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) during Rabi season of 2023-24 to study evaluated the effects of inorganic fertilizer, vermicompost, and biofertilizer on growth, yield, and nutrient uptake of the Mung bean variety 'SML-832'. The result revealed that the maximum plant height (52.96 cm), number of branches per plant (8.62), leaf area index (4.15) and yield parameter such as number of pods per plant (19.22), number of seed per pod (9.45), grain yield (13.25 q/ha), straw yield (29.12 q/ha) with application of T5-100% RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t/ha + Biofertilizer. The maximum nitrogen content in grain and straw (3.70 and 1.53%), phosphorus (0.66 and 0.43%), potassium content (1.05 and 1.60%) and nitrogen uptake in grain and straw (49.03 and 44.55 kg/ha), phosphorus (8.75 and 12.52 kg/ha) and potassium uptake (13.91 and 46.59 kg/ha) were recorded with T5-100% RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t/ha + Biofertilizer. It was concluded that the treatment T5-100% RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t/ha + Biofertilizer found significantly higher growth, yield and nutrient uptake by Mung bean.
