A field investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of organic and inorganic sources of phosphorous on the growth and yield of mungbean (Vigna radiate L.). FYM, poultry manure and chemical fertilizer were accumulated at various concentrations to formulate different treatments. Analysis of data revealed significant differences with respect to plant height, number of plants m-2, leaf area (cm2), root length (cm), number of pod bearing branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, pod size (cm), number of seeds per plant, 1000 seed weight (g), biological yield (Kg per ha), seed yield (Kg per ha), harvest index (%) and grain protein contents (%) indicating primacy of integration of the two sources in having improved mungbean productivity.
