EFFECT OF BORON AND MAGNESIUM ON THE GROWTH, YIELD AND SEED PROTEIN CONTENT OF MUNGBEAN

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to tudy the effect of boron and magnesium on the growth. yield and seed protein content of' BARI mung 05 cv. The experiment was conducted with three levels of boron and Four levels of magnesium. Result revealed that among the three boron levels Bs treatment showed significantly superior effect on pods plant", seeds pod". 1000 grain weight, seed yield and protein content of seeds. Among the four levels of magnesium, Mg, treatment produced the highest Yield. pods plant", seeds pod", and IOOO-grain weight, yield and protein content of seeds. The interaction treatment 11~x Mg, performed the best result in terms of yield, yield attributing characters and protein content of seeds.
