Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of 2024 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur (Rajasthan). The study aimed to evaluate the influence of different phosphorus levels and organic nutrient sources on the growth, yield, nutrient uptake, quality traits, and economic performance of mungbean. The results revealed that phosphorus application significantly influenced various growth and yield parameters of mungbean. Phosphorus at 40 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹ produced significantly taller plants, higher dry matter accumulation, greater number of branches per plant, and more nodules, along with improved yield attributes such as pods per plant and seeds per pod. Although seed weight remained unaffected, seed, straw, and biological yields increased significantly with phosphorus application up to 60 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹. Among organic manures, vermicompost at 4.0 t ha⁻¹ recorded the highest plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of branches, nodulation, and yield attributes. It also resulted in the highest seed, straw, and biological yields. Farmyard manure (FYM) at 10 t ha⁻¹ also improved these parameters significantly over the control and performed statistically at par with vermicompost in most cases.
