ABSTRACT
A study was conducted
to determine the effect of different levels of NPK (12:12:12) on growth and
yield of mungbean (Vigna radiata. L. Wilczek) in Umudike — a humid forest zone
of Nigeria. The treatments were 0kg, 75kg, 150kg, 225kg and 300kg/ha of NPK
(12:12:12) fertilizer were applied to mungbean variety NM92 sown in randomized
complete block design in the research field of Michael Okpara University of
Agriculture, Umudike from March to May 2006. There were improvements in the
vegetative characters including the plant height and number of days to
flowering and podding. A significant difference existed in the yield and yield
components of the plants with those applied with 225kg/ha giving the highest
yield of 1.97t/ha. This was followed by those given 300kg/ha (1.91t/ha),
150kg/ha (1.83t/ha), 75kg/ha (1.80t/ha) and the control (1.31t/ha). The
conclusion is that mungbean has shown good responses in growth, yield and yield
components with the application of NPK (12:12:12) to warrant further trials.
