Effect of chemical fertilizer on mungbean yield in clay soils were studied at farmer field(5 locations) in Nakhon Sawan and Phetchabunprovince in 1999 and 2000, respectively. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 2 replications. Treatment consisted of 6 rates of phosphate fertilizer which were 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, kg P2O5/rai and 5 rates of potash : 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 kg K2O/rai Mungbean variety Chainat 36 was grown at a spacing of 50*20 cm 2 plant/hill with a pot size of 3*6 m and harvested area 2*4 m. Result from the experiment showed that there were no statistically significant difference in mungbean growth and yield as the effect of phosphate and potash fertilization. A survey data on mungbean production at farmer fields were investigated in 1999 and 2000. Result showed that the soil at survey sites were brown-black clay soil which moderate-high fertile. Farm cultural practice for mungbean production were broadcasting seed with no rhizobium inoculation, a few of chemical fertilization and 1-4 plant protection were observed. In Nakhon Sawan province mungbean var. Chainat 36 was grown in early and late monsoon season in March-April and August, respectively, the mean seed weight were 146-267 and 118-178 kg/rai, respectively. Meanwhile in Phetchabun province mungbean var. Chainat 36 and Chainat 72 were grown after maize in late monsoon season (August-September) the average yield was 130-190 kg/rai.
