Performance of different fertilizers and plant spacing on the growth of mungbean

The experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of nutrient combinations and spacing on growth performance mungbean (BARI mung 5) using split plot design. comprised 3 levels spacing; S1- 20 cm × 10 cm, S2- 30 S3- 45 15 cm; 6 fertilizers; F0- Control (without fertilizer), F1- Recommended dose NPK, F2- 5 t ha-1 cowdung, F3- cowdung + F4- 2.5 NPK F5- ha-1cowdung ½ NPK. Among different treatments maximum number leaves (13.70), branches (2.44) dry weight (10.97g) recorded from S3 at 60 DAS other hand highest (13.83) found in F4 matter (8.89g) F3 DAS. However, when combined with fertilizers spacings, S3F4 treatment had (12.7g) before harvest. In terms yield performance, applying @ along recommended resulted seed (1156.7 kg ha-1). plant populations higher S2 (30 cm) than (45 cm), so produced grain (1022.8 It is clear that fertilizer spacings have a significant impact performance. S2F4 may be best choice for improved cultivation. SAARC J. Agric., 21(1): 189-201 (2023)
