A field experiment was carried out at the experimental Farm, College of Agriculture, Jodhpur (Rajasthan) in the Kharif season 2022. The field experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with twelve treatment combinations and replicated thrice. The treatment combinations comprised with two varieties MH 421 and GM 7 (Factor A) and six stress mitigating chemicals (Factor B) namely control, seed priming with thiourea @ 500 ppm, seed priming with salicylic acid @ 75 ppm, seed priming with thiourea @ 500 ppm + foliar spray @ 500 ppm, seed priming with salicylic acid @ 75 ppm + foliar spray @ 75 ppm , seed priming with salicylic acid @ 75 ppm + foliar spray @ 75 ppm + 2% urea (FS) etc. Among the treatments mungbean variety ‘MH-421’ and stress mitigating chemicals thiourea @ 500 ppm + foliar spray @ 500 ppm at flower initiation stage (C3) had performed prominently with respect to growth, yield and economics.
