The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four replications. The treatments comprised of two varieties (MH 421 and SML 668) and four phosphorus levels (Control, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1). Mungbean variety SML 668 registered more plant height, higher dry matter accumulation except at harvest, higher dry matter partitioning except in pods and more leaf area index than MH 421during all the stages of crop growth. Mungbean variety MH 421 produced more yield attributes (branches per plant, pods per plant and grains per pod) grain, stover and biological yield than SML 668. MH 421 also recorded more nutrient uptake than SML 668. Bolder grains were obtained from mungbean variety SML 668. Application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 recorded more growth, yield attributes, yield and nutrient uptake, which was at par with 60 kg P2O5 ha-1. Mungbean variety MH 421 resulted in more net return and benefit cost ratio than SML 668. MH 421 performed better than SML 668 and responded up to 40 kg P2O5 ha-1.enBacteria, Planting, Biological development, Inorganic acid salts, Fungi, Application methods, Vegetative propagation, Fruit products, azotobacter, productivityThesis
