Abstract: This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of traditional and modern nutrient management techniques in the cultivation of Urdbean (Vigna mungo L.), with a focus on their respective impacts on crop growth and yield. In many agricultural regions, traditional methods, often based on the use of organic manures and local farming wisdom, coexist with modern approaches that incorporate synthetic fertilizers and contemporary agronomic practices. This paper aims to bridge the gap between these methodologies by evaluating their effectiveness in enhancing Urdbean productivity while considering the implications for soil health and environmental sustainability. Through a systematic experimental setup across selected Urdbean fields, the study measures key parameters such as plant growth, yield quantity and quality, soil nutrient content, and overall environmental impact. The findings aim to offer insights into optimizing nutrient management in Urdbean cultivation, providing a balanced perspective that can contribute to sustainable agricultural practices and improved food security. This research holds significant value for farmers, agronomists, and policy-makers in the realm of legume agriculture, particularly in regions where Urdbean is a staple crop.
