Study was conducted to determine the effect of varying levels of nitrogen (0,25 and 50 kg/ha-1) and phosphorus (0, 50, 75 and 100 kg/ha-1) on the yield andquality of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivar NM-98 during the year 2001.Although plant population was not affected significantly but various growth andyield components were significantly affected by varying levels of nitrogen andphosphorus. A fertilizer combination of 25-75 kg NP ha-1 resulted in maximumseed yield (1112.96 kg/ha-1). Maximum protein content (25.6%) were obtained fromplots fertilized at the rate of 50-75 kg NP ha-1 followed by protein content of25.1% obtained from plots fertilized at the rate of 25- 75 kg NP ha-1. Highest netincome (Rs. 21374.9) was also obtained by applying N and P at the rate 25 and 75kg NP ha-1, respectively.
