Mungbean (Vigna radita L.) is an excellent source of high quality proteins. In sprouted mungbean, high level of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), riboflavin and thiamine is found. But the production of mungbean is threatened by salinity. In the present study observations were made for two consecutive years regarding growth parameters and yield attributes of mungbean under induced salinity condition. Results from the present study revealed that under salinity condition growth and yield attributes were adversely affected while application of zinc as zinc sulphate minimized the adverse effect under salinity.
