Abstract: Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is an important pulse crop which has high nutritive value. Its seed is protein rich and plant can fix atmospheric nitrogen. Potash not only increases the yield of mungbean but also improves the quality of mungbean. The effect of different doses of potash (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg ha-1) was studied at Adaptive Research Farm Karor, Layyah, Pakistan. The field experiment was performed during kharif seasons (2019 and 2020) using a randomized complete block design having three replications. The performance of mungbean was the best with the application of SOP @75 kg ha-1 with 1000-grain weight (63 g), the number of grains per pod (11), number of pods per plant (19.33) and grain yield (803 kg ha-1) during crop season 2020. In nutshell, 75 kg ha-1 SOP should be applied during the soil preparation for maximum yield of mungbean in the Thal region.
