An integrated use of biological and chemical fertilizers is beneficial in achieving sustainable crop yield improvement during the era of climate change. At the same time, dependency on chemical fertilizer is not recommendable particularly for small-scale farmers who have options of using organic sources of fertilizer, due to its unaffordable cost for small-scale farmers, and contribution for climate change. Optimizing combined use of biological and chemical fertilizers could be a better option to improve crop productivity, minimize their effect on environmental and economic sustainability. Field experiment was conducted in 2019/20 to determine the combined effects of biological and chemical fertilizer sources on the yields of mung bean. The factorial combinations of four bio-slurry levels (control, 50, 100 and 150%) and four sources of nitrogen treatments (control, 23kg N ha-1, Rhizobium strain MB-001and 23kgha-1 N + strain MB-001) were laid out in a randomized complete blocks design with four replications. The phenology and yield parameters of mung bean were significantly affected by bio-slurry and N fertilizer. Hundred seed weight, above ground biological, grain, and straw yields were all improved by the combined application of bio-slurry and N fertilizer. Application of 150% bio-slurry with 23kg Nha-1 resulted in highest biological and straw yield, whereas; application of 100% bio-slurry with Rhizobium strain MB-001resulted in marked increase of grain yield. Pod number per plant and hundred seed weight were highest in the application of 100% bio-slurry with nil N fertilizers. The highest net benefit with highest marginal rate of return was obtained from combined application of 50%bio-slurry with 23kg ha-1 N fertilizer followed by 50% bio-slurry with strain MB-001 inoculation. Integrated application of 50% bio-slurry ha-1 with 23kg ha-1 N may be recommended for smallholder mung bean producers in the experiment area and other areas having similar agro-ecology and socio-economic status.
