Summary
In a field experiment during the summer seasons of 1994 and 1995 at Pouni Chak, Jammu, India, mungbeans [Vigna radiata] were irrigated 3, 4 or 5 times at intervals of 25, 20 or 15 days, respectively, and were given 0, 20 or 40 kg P/ha. Irrigationscheduling at an interval of 15 days significantly increased all yield parameters, seed and total protein yield and water use. However, protein content and water use efficiency decreased with increasing number of irrigations. Seed and protein yields andwater use efficiency increased with increasing P rate.
