Screening of mung bean (Vigna radiata) genotypes for nutrient stress tolerance

Generally nutrient deficiency of a soil is corrected through application of chemical fertilizers. Fertilizers on one hand are costly
and on the other hand it may lead to water pollution by nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural land. Screening of genotypes
for nutrient stress tolerance could be the best alternative to overcome the situation. The present study evaluates the plant growth
characters with emphasis on root growth and nutrient uptake of selected mung bean genotypes and examines the efficiency of certain
growth parameters for predicting their adaptation in sub-optimal nutrient environment. Some genotypes (VC 6153B, GK3 & VC
6144A) were found to be high nutrient acquiring genotypes and some (PDM 54, IPSA 25 & VO 1443 A-G) were low nutrient
acquiring genotypes.
