Impact of Biofertilizers, Neem coated urea and Foliar NPK (12:32:16) on growth and yield attributes of Mung bean

Abstract

The goal of the experiment was to determine the performance of Mung bean when it was treated with bio-fertilizers, Neem-coated urea, and foliar NPK (12:32:16) in an integrated manner. The experiment was carried out in the research farm of the Lovely Professional University in Phagwara, Punjab, during the Kharif season of 2022–2023. The experiment was laid out in the Randomized block design with eight treatments, T1- Control (20:40:00 kg/ha); T2- NPK Foliar application (12:32:16); T3- 75% Neem coated urea+ Rhizobium; T4-75% Neem Coated Urea+ VAM; T5- 50% Neem Coated Urea + Rhizobium; T6- 50% Neem coated urea+ VAM; T7- NPK Foliar application+ Rhizobium; T8- NPK application (12:32:16) + VAM. The outcome showed that among all of the therapies, determines that both T7 (NPK Foliar Application 12:32:16 + Rhizobium) and (T8- NPK application 12:32:16 + VAM) showed the best results in all the parameters.
