Abstract
Management of puddled soil through organic amendments for post-rice mungbean
Highlights
Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is economically important edible pulse widely grown and consumed in South, East and Southeast Asian countries
Field condition was set for post rice mungbean production where three management practices i.e. crop residue, cow dung management, and control plot were placed in three puddling situations
Bulk density and moisture content of soil affected by puddling intensity From the result (Table 1) it is revealed that bulk density increased to a great extent as the intensity of puddling increased
Summary
Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is economically important edible pulse widely grown and consumed in South, East and Southeast Asian countries. Poor physical properties of soil after rice cultivation are the key limiting factors for successful upland crops establishment in many Asian countries including Bangladesh (Harris et al, 1999; Rahmianna et al, 2000; Musa et al, 2001; Singh et al, 2020). Identification of soil physical constraints including changes in chemical properties that limit crop growth and fine-tuning suitable practices for their management are vital for changing soil productivity and assured sustainability of crop production. The present study was undertaken to assess the effects of organic residue incorporation after harvesting wetland rice on physico-chemical properties of puddled soil and the growth and yield of mungbean.
