Abstract
Background: Mungbean is considered as one of the most important pulse crop that belongs to the family of leguminosae. Seed is a basic input and vital element that plays a crucial role in agriculture production as well as in the national economy. Good quality seed gives high yield and higher biomass, which ultimately increases farmers’ income. Methods: The investigation was performed at the laboratory and research farm of Department of Seed Science and Technology, CCS HAU, Hisar during the summer season 2020, which consists of foliar application of nutrients at the first fortnight after sowing of the crop i.e., water spray @ 550 L/ha, urea @ 1%, urea @ 2%, NPK (18-18-18) @ 1%, NPK (18-18-18) @ 2%, zinc sulphate + urea @ 2% + 0.5%, SOP (00-00-52) @ 2% and urea phosphate (17-44-00) @ 2% along with control (untreated) on mungbean varieties (MH-421 and MH-318). The harvested seeds were evaluated for physiological and biochemical parameters of seed quality. Result: The seed quality parameters (physiological parameters i.e., germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight, vigour indices and biochemical parameters i.e., peroxidase, superoxidase and dehydrogenase activity) were recorded higher when the foliar application of NPK (18-18-18) @ 2% was done in both the varieties.
