Abstract: The field experiment was carried out at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Mandor, Jodhpur during kharif season of 2019 to study the synergetic effect of zinc on nitrogen content. Under the present investigation, 4 varieties of mungbean and 7 doses of zinc in 28 treatments combinations were taken as experimental factors to study their effect on mungbean. The Field experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design (RBD). The varieties under experimentation had significant influence on nitrogen content of mungbean at maturity stage. Substantially, highest nitrogen contents were observed in the grain (3.93 %) followed by stover (2.52 %) and pod wall (0.82 %) of mungbean respectively. Further, application of zinc at 6 kg/ha being on par with 5 kg/ha to mungbean fetched significantly highest nitrogen content in grain and stover of mungbean.
