A field experiment was conducted during summer season, 2018 at Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (U.P.) to evaluate the effect of PSB inoculation with and without P and S application in mungbean. The experimental results revealed that yield attributing traits viz. number of pods plant-1, number of grains plant-1, grain yield plant-1, test weight and biological yield, grain yield, straw yield in mungbean differ significantly among different treatments. Growth parameters were significantly better in the treatment T13 (PSB + 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 30 kg S ha-1). The highest grain yield was recorded in T13 where 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 30 kg S ha-1 were applied with PSB inoculation. From the study it may be concluded that the application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 30 kg S ha-1 with PSB inoculation (T13) gave best results (Grain yield increased by 13.2%, 15.2%, 4.7% and 100.2% over T2, T4, T12 and T1, respectively) and proved to be beneficial for summer mungbean. Application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 15 kg S ha-1 with PSB inoculation (T12) also gave better results, besides saving of 15 kg S ha-1.
