Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in research station and agricultural experiments-College of agriculture/Kirkuk University during the spring season of 2017 to study effect of the varieties and nitrogen levels in growth characters and yield of mungbean. The experiment included two varieties of mungbean (green gram & black gram) and six levels of nitrogen (40 , 60 , 80 , 100 , 120 and 140 kg N ha-1). The experiment were designed as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replicates. The green gram gave the highest rate of No. of pods/plant, No. of seeds/pod, 1000-seed weight and seed yield, while black gram recorded the highest rate of plant height, No. of leaves/plant, leaf area, biological yield and protein percentage. The level 120 kg N ha-1 gave highest rate of characters No. of pods/plant, No. of seeds/pod, 1000-seed weight, seed yield and protein percentage. While level 140 kg N ha-1 gave the highest rate of plant height, No. of leaves/plant, leaf area, biological and protein percentage. The interaction between green gram with level 120 kg N ha-1 gave the highest rate of No. of pods/plant, No. of seeds/pod and seed yield.
