RESPONSE OF MUNGBEAN TO VARIOUS LEVELS OF PLANTING DENSITY AND PHOSPHORUS | Journal of Global Agric

The goal of this study was to see how mungbean responded to different planting densities and phosphorus levels. During the spring seasons of 2013, the experiment was set up in a randomised complete block design with three replications at the University College of Agriculture's Research Area in Sargodha, Punjab, Pakistan. Planting density (20 cm, 30 cm, and 40 cm row spacing) was given to the main plots, whereas phosphorus rates (40, 80, and 120 kg ha-1) were applied to the sub plots. The net plot was 2.4 m x 6 m in size. Standard procedures were used to capture observations on several agro-physiological characteristics of the crop. Fisher's analysis of variance was used to analyse the data, and the statistically distinct means were separated by LSD at the 5% probability level. Plant height at harvest and number of seeds per pod were unaffected by planting density, however number of pod bearing branches, pods per plant, 1000-grain weight, seed yield, and total dry matter were significantly influenced. The highest seed output (977.71 kg ha-1) was achieved when the crop was planted at a planting density of 30 cm row spacing (333333 plants ha-1) and phosphorus was administered at a rate of 80 kg ha-1.
