Abstract: A field experiment was carried out at Raipur during kharif season of 2010. Urdbean (Phaseolus mungo L.) variety Azad-1 recorded significantly highest plant height, number of branches plant-1, root length and dry biomass, dry matter accumulation, number and dry weight of nodules, number of flowers, number of pods plant-1 and pod setting index, grain and stover yield. As regards to different agro-input management practices, application of 100% RDF + FYM 5 t ha-1 + NAA 40 ppm + PSB + DAP 2% recorded significantly highest plant height, number of branches plant-1, root length and dry biomass, dry matter accumulation, number and dry weight of nodules, number of flowers, number of pods plant-1 and pod setting index, grain and stover yield.
Keywords: Urdbean, Growth, Nodulation, NAA, PSB, DAP
