Online published on 13 January, 2016. Abstract A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different nutrient combination and sources on mungbean (Vignaradiata L. Wilczek) in sandy loam soil at Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (U.P.), during kharifseason of 2012. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments, three replications and variety was SML-668. Among all the treatment application of 50 kg phosphorus through SSP, 8 kg N through urea as basal along with 1.0 ton of vermicompost ha−1 gave maximum plant height, number of green try foliate, dry matter accumulation, number of active nodules, number of pods plant−1, number of grains pod−1, straw and biological yield, which was significantly more than the other treatments. An increase of 84.4 percent in grain yield were recorded due to integration of nutrient sources and also to be found significantly higher gross return and net return compare to control treatments Top Keywords Nutrient, Vermicompost, FYM, Mungbean yield and Economics.
