CR + B, and VC + CR + B, being at par, significantly increased the grain
yield of mung bean over the control, but incorporation crop residue plus
inoculation of seeds with biofertilizers (CC + PSB + Rhizobium) resulted
the most economical treatment with respect to increasing net profit. This
was because of the low price of biofertilizers compared with crop residue.
Both of FYM + CR + B and VC + CR + B combinations resulted in im-
proved grain quality and nutrient uptake by grain. The present study thus
indicates that a combination of FYM + CR + biofertilizers or VC + RR +
biofertilizers holds a promise for organic farming of mung bean.
