Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm.
Dhaka during the period from March, 2008 to May. 2008 to study the influence of
phosphorus and boron atone and in combination on the growth and yield of BARI
Mung 5
(Vigna radio/a).
The experiment included thur levels
of phosphorus viz.. 0.
15. 30 and 45kg Pha and four levels
of
boron
viz..
0.0.5. 1 and 2 kg B hi'. The
experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three
replications. Phosphorus showed significant influence on yield and yield attributes of
munghean. Application of phosphorus 30 kg ha

significant effect on yield and yield attributes of mungbean. Combined application

height, stover yield and total content of P and B by munghean. On the other hand, in
all the cases lower values were found in the control treatment. The addition of P and
B not only increased the yield but also protect the soil from total exhaustion of
nutrients.
