Abstract
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 effect of Nutrients and Plant Growth regulators on growth and yield of Mung bean variety “SML-832‟ was used in this study. The result revealed that the maximum growth parameters such as plant height (51.22 cm), dry matter accumulation (24.33 g), number of primary branches per plant (8.12), number of nodulation (35.85) and yield parameter such as number of pods per plant (17.10), number of seed per pod (9.20), grain yield (10.95 q/ha), straw yield (20.02 q/ha) and biological yield (30.97 q/ha) with application of T9-Urea @ 2% + Salicylic acid @ 75 ppm spray at flower initiation + Nitrobenzene @ 500 ppm at flower initiation. It was concluded that the treatment T9-Urea @ 2% + Salicylic acid @ 75 ppm spray at flower initiation + Nitrobenzene @ 500 ppm at flower initiation increases growth and yield of mung bean.
