EFFECT OF FOLIAR NUTRITION ON PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF MUNG BEAN (VIGNA MUNGO (L.) HEPPER)

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2012-13 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Lam, Guntur, with an aim to find out effect of foliar nutrition on physiological and biochemical parameters of mung bean (vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) under irrigated conditions. Among foliar nutrients Urea @ 2% recorded higher yield and proved superior over other foliar sprays. Urea @ 2% spray recorded more plant height, leaf area, shoot dry weight and by increasing total chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate and total protein content.
