Experiment was carried out in sandy loam soil during kharif season 2007 to findout the effect of various levels of phosphorus on nitrogen fixing potential of rhizobium and their response on mungbean variety of N.D.M.-1. The data revealed that the 45 kg P2O5 ha-1 and Rhizobium inoculation significantly increased microbiological parameters such as number of nodules, fresh weight of nodules and nitrogenase activity. Application of 45 kg P2O5 ha-1 along with Rhizobium significantly increased the yield of mungbean.
