Influence of Bioinorganic Combinations on Yield, Quality and Economics of Mung Bean

Abstract

A field study was conducted during rainy ( kharif ) season of 2013 to find out the effect of bioinorganic nutrient combinations on yield, quality and econ omics of mungbean [ Vigna radiate (L.) Wilczek]. The twelve treatments comprised one control, three levels of in organic sources (75, 50 and 100 % NPK of recommended dose) and other eight in combination viz. 50% RDF+ Rhizobium + Phosphorus solublizing bacteri a (PSB), 50% RDF + 2.5 t/ha Vermicompost, 50% RDF+2.5 t/ha Vermicompost/ha + Rhizobium + PSB, 75% RDF+ Rhizobium + PSB, 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha Vermicompost, 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha Vermicompost + Rhizobium +PSB, 100%RDF+ Rhizobium + PSB and 100% RDF + 2.5 t/ha Vermi compost were laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Amongst combinations, significant improvement in plant height at harvest, yield attributes, yield, protein per cent, nutrient content and uptake were recorded with application of nut rients through 75% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB as compared to other combinations, followed by treatments 100% RDF + 2.5 t/ha vermicompost and 100% RDF + Rhizobium + PSB. The highest and comparable net returns were obtained with the applic ation of
