Nickel (Ni) is an essential micronutrient present in urease enzyme of plants and microorganisms required for overall plant growth especially in nodule forming crops. To assess the nickel role for crop growth attributes of mungbean, two year field trial were conducted on different treatments of 1 nickel by using Randomized Complete Block design at the farm area of Soil Chemistry Section, AARI, Faisalabad for two consecutive years. Nickel Sulphate as Ni treatment was applied @ 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 kg ha-1 to the soil as basal along-with recommended dose of NPK fertilizers. The increasing trend of shoot length, No. of pods plant-1 and No. of grains pod-1 with the application of increased Ni rate was observed. The maximum grain yield of mungbean (473.17 & 498.14 kg ha ) was observed where 10 kg ha-1 nickel was applied and minimum grain yield (429.52 & 441.21 kg ha-1) was observed in control in 1st and 2nd year of mungbean, respectively. The application of Ni also showed the increased Ni content in grains with the maximum content of 4.74 & 4.91 µg g-1 in 1st and 2nd year, respectively, where 10 kg ha-1 Ni was applied. The phosphorus content (0.481 & 0.514 µg g-1) was observ
