Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during September, 2013 to December, 2013 to
study the effects of phosphorus (P) and molybdenum (Mo) on growth and yield
of mungbean. The variety, BARI Mung-5 was used in this experiment as the
test crop. The experiment consists of two factors: Factor A: Phosphorus (3
levels) namely, P
0
: 0 kg P ha
-1
(Control), P
Factor B: Molybdenum (3 levels) namely, Mo
1
: 20 kg P ha
0
: 0 kg Mo ha

, P

2
: 40 kg P ha
(Control), Mo
:
0.50 kg Mo ha
-1
, and Mo
2
:
1.0 kg Mo ha
-1
. Data on different yield contributing
characters, growth and yield were recorded. There was a positive impact of P
and Mo and their interaction on growth, yield and yield attributes of mungbean.
All the plant parameters were increased with increasing level of P (up to 40 kg
ha
-1
) and Mo (up to 1.0 kg ha
-1
). The highest seed yield (1.89t ha
) and stover
yield (3.38t ha
-1
) were obtained from the treatment P
2
Mo
due to combined
effect of P and Mo which were higher over control treatment respectively.
However, from the study it can be concluded that application of P @ 40 kg ha
2
and Mo @ 1.0 kg ha
-1
was the most suitable combination for better yield of
mungbeanin Red Brown Terrace Soils of Tejgaon Series in Bangladesh.
