Effects of Bacteria, Molybdenum and Sulphur Fertilization on Agronomic and Quality Characteristics of Mung Bean

Abstract

Mung bean is one of the most important edible legumes in the world and although its consumption is increasing day by day, its production is still low. Important cultural practices in mung bean cultivation are inoculation of seeds with symbiotic bacteria and optimum fertilization with nutrients. Therefore, the effects of sulphur (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg ha -1) molybdenum (0 and 5 g kg-1) and bacteria application on agronomic and quality characteristics of mung bean and nodule formation were determined in this study. The study was conducted in Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops in 2021. In the study, the differences between plant height, number of grains and pods per plant, plant grain yield, grain yield, harvest index, hundred grain weight, ash content, protein content, number and weight of nodules according to bacteria treatment; all traits except harvest index and hundred grain weight according to molybdenum treatment and all traits according to sulphur doses were found statistically significant. According to the results obtained, it was determined that molybdenum and sulphur treatments together with bacterial inoculation increased the yield, yield components and nodule formation of mung bean. It was determined that the increase in sulphur doses increased agronomic parameters such as yield, hundred grain weight, ash content, protein ratio and nodulation activities. In the study, it was concluded that 30 kg S ha-1 should be used together with bacteria and molybdenum to obtain higher yield and quality product in mung bean cultivation.
