Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during 1988 and 1989 at Kanpur, to st udy the effect of phosphorus and potassium on greengram (Phaseolus rad iatus L.). Both P and K affected the seed yield and physiological para meters significantly. Phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha and K @ 20 kg/ha were foun d optimum. Seed yield showed positive correlation with leaf area, dry matter/plant relative moisture content in leaves, number of branches, number of pods, seed yield/plant, 1,000-seed weight and harvest index.
