A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Marathwada Agricultural University, Parbhani, Maharashtra during the year 2011-12 with eight treatments and each treatment with four replications.The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design to study the effect of soil and foliar application of Phosphorus on growth, yield and quality of Greengram with 0, 25, 50 Kg P2O5 ha-1 with foliar applications at 30 and 45 DAS. The results revealed that greengram responded significantly to the soil and foliar application of phosphorus. Among all the treatments, treatment with 50 kg P2O5 ha-1 as basal application + foliar application of BOOST -52 (0:52:34) at 30 and 45 DAS has shown better growth, yield and quality with highest gross and net monetary returns.
