Abstract
A field experiment carried out during summer season of 1990 and 1991 s howed that basal application of 20 kg N + 40 kg P2O5/ha to greengram ( Phaseolus radiatus L.) gave the highest seed yield and found statistic ally equal to foliar spray of urea + diammonium phosphate twice. Folia r application of urea (1.5%) + diammonium phosphate (0.5%) twice at 30 and 40 days after sewing significantly increased the number of pods/p lant, seeds/pod and length of pod and ultimately resulted in higher se ed yield than the control and water spray.
