Turr tieid experiments were conducted at Giza Experimental Stau.,n.

... sDraled once at 35 days after sowing (DAS). The results shori ed that foliar spray with the adopted concentrations of Zn. \1n or B alone or in a mixture, increased significantll most oi the groBth parameters over the conlrol in both ,euront. Application oi Zn (0.2 g,A) done followed by a mixfure of micronutrients resulted in better morphological and physiologicai parameters [stem iength (cm), No. of branches, No. of leaves, leaf area (LA) (cm2). leaf area index (LAI) and shoot dry weight (g) per nlantl' It was obsened that mungbean cv. VC-1000 surpassed cv. V-2010 in all parameters under investigation in both seasons. The e lfect of spral ing with low level of Zn, Mn, B and their tnixture on the internal structure of the vegetative growth of mungbean cv. VC-1000 rvas investigated.
