Abstract: This study was initiated with the aim of evaluating the influence of cow dung doses on the morphological, physiological, and agronomic parameters of the mung bean grown in the field. The trial was conducted using a completely randomized block experimental design with four treatments (T0= controls; T1= 2 tonnes/ha cow dung; T2= 3 tonnes/ha cow dung; T3= 4 tonnes/ha cow dung) and four replicates. The results showed that cow dung had a very highly significant positive effect on the morphological, physiological and agronomic parameters of the mung bean, except for the weight of 100 seeds where the effect was not significant. Treatment 3 (T3) had more effects on the grain yield of the mung bean (1.15 t/ha) compared to the T2, T1, T0 treatments (respectively 0.99 t/ha; 0.69 t/ha; 0.44 t/ha). This corresponds to yield increases of 163% (T3), 125% (T2) and 56% (T1) compared to the unfertilized T0 control. From these results, it appears that the tonnes/ha dose had significant effects on the parameters studied compared to the other treatments. The contribution of cow dung in the production of mung bean is therefore highly recommended to producers in order to optimize yields.
