The experiment was conducted in field at C.S.A. Agriculture University and Technology, Kanpur, during Kharif season 2012. One treatment was kept as control to compare the various treatments of boron and molybdenum applied by different methods. The best treatments emerged out from this study were boron @ 3.75 kg/ha and molybdenum @ 0.75 kg/ha for growth parameters, fruiting behavior and grain yield of mungbean variety PDM-139.
