Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during spring-summer seasons of 2017 at Tarnak Research Farm, ANASTU, Kandahar, Afghanistan to investigate the effect of sources of nutrient and biofertilizers on growth, yield and economics of Mungbean. The experiment laid out in Split Plot Design (SPD) with by assigning 4 levels of nutrients sources (control, 30:60:40 kg N:P:K ha-1, 10 t FYM ha-1, and 15:30:20 kg N:P:K ha-1 + 5t FYM ha-1) in main plot and 4 levels of biofertilizers [No Biofertilizer, Rhizobium, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) + Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM), and Rhizobium + PSB + VAM] in subplot, thus sixteen treatment combinations were tested in three replications. Results of the study revealed that significantly superior plant growth parameters like plant height, number of branches, trifoliate leaves, leaf area and dry matter accumulation were recorded from RDF 0.5+ FYM 5 t ha-1. Similarly, these parameters were superior with the application of Rhizobium+ PSB+VAM at most of the growing stages. Among different nutrient sources and biofertilizer the interaction effect was significant at different stages and found best with the combination of RDF 0.5+ FYM 5 t ha-1 and Rhizobium+PSB+VAM for most of the growth parameters. Root parameters like root length and root nodules (7.7 plant-1) were significantly higher with the application of RDF0.5+FYM 5 t ha-1 and Rhizobium+PSB+VAM over control at 25, 50 and at harvest stages. Highest growth and yield can be obtained with the application of 15:30:20 kg N: P: K ha-1+ 5 t FYM ha-1 along with Rhizobium + PSB + VAM in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan.
