Abstract Pulses are normally known as food legume while are secondary to cereals in production and utilization in India. Black gram [Vigna mungo (L) Hepper] otherwise called urd, or mash is one of the significant short duration pulse crop. The crop has its own significance because of high nutrition value of grains as human food and feed as rich feed for cattle. The grains contain around 24% protein on dry weight basis, which is more than twice than that of cereals. It is a decent green compost and erosion resistant cover crop. The crop likewise improves soil fertility by symbiotic fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in root nodules. As practices, a properly balanced supply of phosphorous and utilization of plant development controllers (PGRs) is one among the preeminent important factor to extend better returns in Black gram. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) assume a significant part in mitigating stress, increasing flower set, yield, and physiological proficiency of the crop. Many field experiments led on this crop from which it is regularly announced that the optimum level of phosphorous and growth regulators fundamentally upgraded the expansion, yield, and protein in crop. This paper mainly centres on the role of phosphorus and growth regulators of naphthalene acidic acid (NAA) and salicylic acid (SA) in improving the production of Black gram.
