Abstract

The present study investigated the effect of the combination of zeolite, mycorrhizal inoculation and phosphorus fertilizer on mung bean production in the year 2022-2023 in the climatic conditions of Isfahan City. The experiment was performed as a split-split plot as a basic randomized complete block design with three replications. The main factor included zeolite at three levels (zero, 3, and 6 ton/h)and the secondary factors included mycorrhizal inoculation (inoculation and non-inoculation) and phosphorus fertilizer at three levels (zero, 75 and 150 kg/h). The results showed that the main effects of mycorrhizal inoculation and phosphorus fertilizer application on all measured traits were significant. The interaction effect of zeolite and phosphorus fertilizer showed that the highest seed yield was observed in the treatment of six ton/h of zeolite and not use or using 75 kg/h of phosphorus fertilizer at the rate of 2920.6 and 2895.67 kg/h, respectively, and the lowest in the absence of zeolite. The zeolite and phosphorus fertilizer consumption was obtained at the rate of 2063.36 kg/h. The results showed that the highest biological yield was observed in the treatment of six ton/h of zeolite and mycorrhiza + 75 kg/h of phosphorus fertilizer at the rate of 8127 kg/h, and the lowest in the case of no zeolite consumption, no mycorrhiza use and no use of phosphorus fertilizer. A total of 3893 kg/h was obtained. In general, combining or using zeolite, mycorrhizal, and phosphorus fertilizers in mung bean cultivation has led to improved growth, increased production, and improved product quality
