An experiment was conducted during kharif season 2020 at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Ummedganj, Kota. The experiment comprised twenty-four treatment combinations, having four levels of phosphorus viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha-1, three levels of sulphur viz., 15, 30 and 45 kg ha-1 and foliar spray of gibberellic acid viz., no spray and spray of GA3 @ 75 ppm laid out in sub-sub split-plot design with three replications. Results showed that application of 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 had significant effect on plant height, dry matter accumulation plant-1, branches plant-1 at 30, 60 DAS and at harvest, root nodules plant-1 and their dry weight at 45 DAS while root nodules plant-1 and their dry weight at 45 DAS andseed yield (1956 kg ha-1) over application of 40, 20 kg P2O5 ha-1 and control. Significantly higher seed yield (1956 kg ha-1) was recorded under application of 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 over application of 20 kg P2O5 ha-1 and control. However, it was found at par with application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1. Application of 45 kg sulphur ha-1 had significantly higher plant height (cm) at 60 DAS and at harvest, dry matter accumulation (g plant-1) at 30, 60 and at harvest stages, branches plant-1 at 30, 60 and at harvest stage, number of root nodules and their dry weight (g) and seed yield (1742 kg ha-1) which was found at par with application of 30 kg sulphur ha-1 over 15 kg sulphur ha-1. Application of gibberellic acid @ 75 ppm as foliar spray gave significantly higher plant height (cm) at 60 DAS and at harvest stage, dry matter accumulation (g plant-1) at 60 DAS and at harvest, branches plant-1 at 30, 60 DAS and harvestand seed yield (1770 kg/ha) over control.

Sixty-five mungbean genotypes were screened for resistance against Cercospora leaf spot under disease epiphytotic condition. The disease symptoms initiated on the lower side of the old leaves of susceptible genotypes and progressively spread all over the plant. Considerable variations among the genotypes were observed with respect to disease reactions. Among the sixty-five genotypes, one genotype LGG-460 was found highly resistant while GM-02-08, GM-02-13 and GM-03-03 were categorized into resistant. However, fifty-two genotypes were found moderately resistant, while the rests of the genotypes were grouped into susceptible to highly susceptible. Minimum disease index (0.9) and Maximum disease control (70.1%) was recorded in the foliar application of Carbendazim (12%) + Mancozeb (63%) 75% WP at 0.2% concentration. However, Hexaconazole (5%) + Captan (70%) 75% WP and Mancozeb75%WP were also found statistically at par with 1.0 and 1.2 disease index and percent disease control were 61.3 and 62.7, respectively.
