We conducted pot experiments to study the influences of different combinations of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), Rhizobium (R), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) on the growth and yield of mungbean. A suitable source and dose of P and the combined effect of AM and Rhizobium on mungbean in presence of N was also studied. Dual inoculation in presence of nitrogen @ 50 kg N /ha and phosphorus @ 25 kg P2O5 /ha revealed better performance compared to dual inoculation alone in respect of nodulation, growth, yield, nutrient uptake and protein content. Mungbean inoculation with AM fungi resulted in higher P uptake by the crop.
