Response of two wheat cultivars namely Inqalab-91 and Punjab-96 to nitrogen levels of 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg haG 1 was studied under field conditions. The cultivar Inqalab-91 gave significantly higher grain yield than cultivar Punjab-96 due to more spike length, number of grains spikeG 1 and 1000-grain weight. Yield and yield components were also influenced significantly by nitrogen levels. The application of 150 kg N haG 1 produced maximum grain yield of 5.44 t haG 1 which was, however, statistically similar to that of 100 kg N haG 1. The increase in grain yield with nitrogen application was related to higher number of tillers mG 2 , spike length, number of grains spikeG 1 and 1000-grain weight.

Response of two mungbean cultivars namely NM-54 and NM-92 to phosphorus levels of 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg haG 1 was studied in field conditions during the autumn 1997. The growth and yield parameters like plant height, pods plant, seeds pantG 1 , 1000-seed weight and seed yield were influenced significantly by both phosphorus application and cultivars. However, number of pod bearing branches plantG 1 were not influenced significantly by both cultivars and fertilizer levels. the maximum seed yield of 1095 kg haG 1 was obtained by the application of 100 kg P 2 0 5 haG 1 , The cultivar NM-54, yielding 1060.09 kg haG 1 seed proved to be superior than NM-92 (956.77 kg haG 1 ). The application of 100 kg P 2 0 5 haG 1 was found to be the optimum level for obtaining higher yield of mungbean in Faisalabad conditions.
