The field experiment was conducted during the summer seasons of 2022 and 2023 at the Crop Research Centre (CRC) of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (UP). The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with eleven treatment combinations and three replications to evaluate the effects of different treatments on the growth parameters of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.). Among the different integrated nutrient management strategies, treatment T4 (75% NPK + Vermicompost @ 0.34 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB) resulted in significantly higher plant height (59.7 & 61.5 cm), number of branches per plant (4.65 & 4.75), number of trifoliate leaves per plant at 40 DAS (11.1 & 11.4), dry matter accumulation per plant (15.4 & 15.7 g), leaf area index at 40 DAS (4.9 & 5.2), and number of effective nodules per plant (43.8 & 46.4). In contrast, the lowest values for plant height (44.9 & 46.2 cm), number of branches per plant (3.0 & 3.2), number of trifoliate leaves per plant at 40 DAS (7.9 & 8.3), dry matter accumulation per plant (9.4 & 9.7 g), leaf area index at 40 DAS (2.8 & 3.0), and number of effective nodules per plant (31.3 & 33.2) were recorded in T1 (Absolute control) during both years.
