In a pot experiment at S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner during kharif 2016 on mungbean to investigate the effect of different RSC water and sources of zinc on growth and yield of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] with three levels of RSC (Residual sodium carbonate) water W2, W4, and W6 (2, 4 and 6 mmol L-1) and four levels of sources of zinc (0, ZnSO4.7H2O, zinc enriched vermicompost and zinc enriched FYM). The study revealed that the number of totals, effective nodules and nodule index, total chlorophyll content, plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, seed index, root mass, seed and straw yield of mungbean decreased significantly with increasing levels of RSC waters and maximum reduction was recorded with the application of 6 mmol L-1 of RSC water. The significantly higher results were obtained with application of zinc enriched vermicompost over other sources of zinc
