In this study, the effect of Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungal spores were examined on Vigna radiata (Mung bean). Seeds of Mung bean var. PDM-139-SAMRAT were sown in plastic pots, in the mixture of half soil and half sand. Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungal spores inoculated individually and in combination with mung seeds. After germination data have been reported for plant height, leaf area, number of root nodules and pods, chlorophyll amount and yield measured after 30,45,60,75,90 and 120 days of sowing. Results of these experiments showed that Rhizobium and mycorrhiza positively affected the growth and yield of mung plant. Combined inoculation of Rhizobium and mycorrhiza shows better results in comparison to their individual inoculation. Mixture of Rhizobium and mycorrhizal spores improve the growth, yield, number of root nodules and pods, leaf area and chlorophyll amount of mung plant.
