Effect of phosphorus and bio-inoculants on root nodules, nutrient uptake, quality and economics of summer mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek

A field experiment was conducted at Rajasthan College of Agriculture Udaipur, (MPUAT) (Rajasthan) during Summer season of 2016 to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and bio-inoculants on soil fertility and yield of Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] under factorial randomized block design with three replications and two factors likewise, four level of phosphorus Control (0 kg P2O5 ha-1) , 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 and four level of bio-inoculants (control, PSB, Aspergillus awamori , PSB + Aspergillus awamori ) applied to the variety SML-668. The data were analyzed using standard statistical procedures. Results revealed that application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 significantly enhances number of total and effective nodules per plant flowering stage after 45 DAS, leaf area index, chlorophyll content, protein content in seed, as well as produces the higher net returns (62144 Rs /ha) and highest B:C ratio (3.86) which was statistically at par with 60 kg P2O5 /ha. Inoculation of mungbean seeds with PSB + Aspergillus awamori significantly increased number of total and effective nodules at flowering after 45 DAS, LAI, chlorophyll content, nutrient content, protein content in seed, and gave highest net return ₹63187 /ha as compared to control, PSB and Aspergillus awamori, whereas, B:C ratio of treatment PSB and Aspergillus awamori was highest 3.98 as compared to control.

Water relations and yield characteristics of mungbean as influenced by foliar application of gibberellic acid (GA3)

Optimizing the dose and foliar application frequency of growth regulators such as gibberellic acid (GA3) may play an important role in ensuring food security under changing climate scenarios by boosting grain yield of food legumes such as mungbean. A trial was conducted to evaluate the growth promoting effect of foliage applied gibberellic acid (GA3) at various spraying frequencies for mungbean crop. The employed treatments included four gibberellic acid levels (0, 100, 200, and 300 ppm) and two application frequencies (single spray at 30 days after sowing DAS, and two sprays at 30 and 40 DAS). Water relations, yield contributing characteristics and mungbean grain yield were among the response variables investigated. The research findings revealed that GA3(200 ppm applied twice at pre-flowering and post-flowering stages) significantly improved the water relations, morphological and yield attributes of mungbean. This treatment combination remained unmatched by producing the highest relative water content in the stem (85.52), water retention capacity in the stem (17.24), and water uptake capacity in the stem and leaf (2.35). Furthermore, the same treatment combination resulted in the maximum plant height (50.04 cm), pods per plant (11.07), pod length (6.62 cm), grains number per pod (11.00), 100-grains weight (3.78 g), grain yield per plant (4.57 g), and a minimum water saturation deficit. Thus, GA3foliage application at 200 ppm at 30 and 60 DAS has the potential to stimulate growth and increase the yield attributes and grain yield of mungbean. However, additional in-depth field trials with various doses of GA3sprayed at a higher frequency may be required before recommending GA3for general adoption to mungbean growers.

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) growth response to prilled and super granule urea application

Indiscriminate use of nitrogenous fertilizers not only causes soil degradation but also significantly increases production costs, thus sought the urgent call for judicial application of this fertilizer to sustain soil fertility, particularly in producing pulse crops as they also trap atmospheric nitrogen. This study was conducted at the farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, to explore the best nitrogenous fertiliser (prilled and super granule urea) application rate fostering better growth and yield of mung bean. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) was adopted with 16 treatments having three replications. Data on different growth contributing characteristics of mung bean were recorded, and statistical analysis was conducted to present the results. Findings of this study revealed significant variations in majority of the yield and yield contributing parameters of the mung bean influenced by the rate and methods of nitrogenous fertilizer application. The results demonstrated that application of prilled urea in furrows fostered the growth-related parameters of the mung bean crop such as the highest plant height (50.57 cm), the maximum number of leaves plant-1 (22.57), the maximum number of branches plant-1 (6.00) and the highest above ground dry matter plant-1 (12.08 g) which could enhance better yield as compared to any other treatments studied. However, application of urea super granule (USG) placement at 10 cm depth with a 40 cm distance exhibited the worst growth responses in regard to yield contributing parameters of mung bean.

Application of Zinc, Iron and Boron Enhances Productivity and Grain Biofortification of Mungbean

Deficiencies of essential vitamins, iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) affect over one-half of the world’s population. A significant progress has been made to control micronutrient deficiencies through supplementation, but new approaches are needed, especially to reach the rural poor. Agronomic biofortification of pulses with Zn, Fe, and boron (B) offers a pragmatic solution to combat hidden hunger instead of food fortification and supplementation. Moreover, it also has positive effects on crop production as well. Therefore, we conducted three separate field experiments for two consecutive years to evaluate the impact of soil and foliar application of the aforementioned nutrients on the yield and seed biofortification of mungbean. Soil application of Zn at 0, 4.125, 8.25, Fe at 0, 2.5, 5.0 and B at 0, 0.55, 1.1 kg ha−1 was done in the first, second and third experiment, respectively. Foliar application in these experiments was done at 0.3% Zn, 0.2% Fe and 0.1% B respectively one week after flowering initiation. Data revealed that soil-applied Zn, Fe and B at 8.25, 5.0 and 1.1 kg ha−1, respectively, enhanced the grain yield of mungbean; however, this increase in yield was statistically similar to that recorded with Zn, Fe and B at 4.125, 2.5 and 0.55 kg ha−1, respectively. Foliar application of these nutrients at flower initiation significantly enhanced the Zn contents by 28% and 31%, Fe contents by 80% and 78%, while B contents by 98% and 116% over control during 2019 and 2020, respectively. It was concluded from the results that soil application of Zn, Fe, and B enhanced the yield performance of mungbean; while significant improvements in seed Zn, Fe, and B contents were recorded with foliar application of these nutrients.

CLIMATE CHANGE RISK PERCEPTION AND VULNERABILITY OF MUNGBEAN PRODUCTION IN SOUTHERN BANGLADESH

Climate change and its variability cause different stresses that negatively affecting the pulse crop specially mungbean in the southern region of Bangladesh. The present study was conducted to examine the climate change risk perception of mungbean growers and vulnerability of mungbean in the coastal districts of Patuakhali and Barguna in Bangladesh. Using a structured questionnaire with face to face interviews, 120 samples were collected from Patuakhali and Barguna district during the period of 2022-23. The multistage sampling technique was used in selecting the sample. The collected data were analyzed using a combination of descriptive statistics i.e. sum, averages and percentages) and mathematical analyses i.e. Standardized Climate Change Risk Perception Index (SCCRPI) and Vulnerability Index. The study found that farmers in these regions grow mungbean during late Robi and kharif-ii season. In Patuakhali district, the highest SCCRPI value was for drought (77) and lowest value was for salinity (33). In contrast, the highest SCCRPI values in the Barguna district was for drought (75) and lowest value was for salinity (33), respectively. Farmers in both districts identified drought as the greatest concern, followed by insect attack, rainfall, disease infestation, water logging and salinity. The vulnerability index for mungbean in Patuakhali and Barguna district, respectively, is 0.34 and 0.35, which indicates a medium level of vulnerability and indicates that one should use improved technologies, stress tolerant variety that can minimize risk from unfavorable climatic, social, and biological conditions. Farmers responded that three times harvest was the main reason that hinder the production process along with others climatic, biological and social factors. Development of synchronized variety, availability of good quality seed, digging canals, proper use of sluice gate can increase the yield of mungbean in the study areas.

THE EFFECTS OF SOWING DESIGNS ON FORAGE YIELD AND QUALITY OF SWEET SORGHUM AND MUNG BEAN MIXTURES UNDER MEDITERRANEAN CONDITIONS

This study was conducted to determine the effects of sowing designs on forage yield and quality in sweet sorghum and mung bean grown as binary mixture with different cultivation systems in Mediterranean conditions under second crop season during 2019-2020. As sowing design, twin-row (20×55 cm row spacing), narrow-row (55 cm row spacing) and conventional-row (75 cm row spacing) were used as sowing design. The mixtures were formed based on the plant density and alternative row numbers of sweet sorghum and mung bean. Sowing was done on alternating rows of 1 row of sweet sorghum and 1 row of mung bean and 2 rows of sweet sorghum and 1 row of mung bean. The plant density of sweet sorghum was 14 plants m-2 and plant densities of mung bean were 14 plants m-2, 21 plants m-2 and 28 plants m-2. This experiment was planned as two-factor (sowing designs and mixtures) and conducted in randomized complete block design arranged in split plot with 3 replications. To evaluate the forage yield and quality, fresh forage yield, dry matter yield, NDF, ADF, ADL, crude ash crude protein and ether extract characteristics were examined. In addition, the intercropping potential of mung bean and sweet sorghum mixtures was evaluated by the land equivalent ratio. As a result of the present study, mixed cultivation of 14 plants m-2 with one row of sweet sorghum and 14 plants m-2 with one row of mung bean gave the best results in narrow row sowing design. It was concluded that an efficient and high quality intercropping system can be realized in the second crop conditions in regions where Mediterranean climatic conditions prevail, especially for mung beans and sweet sorghum.

The impact of different potassium concentrations on the yield of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

This experiment compared four different potassium amounts (0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg.L-1), symboled K0, K1, K2 and K3, respectively. The findings of this research indicated that there were significant effects on pod length, the total number of pods per plant, seeds per pod, biological yield and grain yield, with treatment K3 achieving the highest average of 10.49 cm, 35.83 pods plant-1, 10.60 seeds pod-1, 1.430 ton ha-1, and 2.026 ton ha-1, respectively. At the same time, neither the ha harvest index nor the 100-seed weight was significantly impacted. Keywords: potassium, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, mungbean.

Impact of Organic Nutrient Management Practices on Growth and Yield of Mungbean

A multilocation field experiment was conducted during kharif season (July–September) of 2019 in mungbean under organic nutrient management at Agriculture Research Sub-Station, Sumerpur, Pali and Adaptive Trial Centre, Sumerpur, Pali, Rajasthan, India. The nine organic nutrient management practices viz. T1- Farmyard manure (FYM) as per soil health card @ 10 t ha-1, T2- Vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1, T3- T1+Vermiwash @ 10% at 15, 30 and 45 days after sowing (DAS), T4- T2+Vermiwash @ 10% at 15, 30 and 45 DAS, T5- T1+Panchgavya @ 4% at 15, 30 and 45 DAS, T6- T2+Panchgavya @ 4% at 15, 30 and 45 DAS, T7- T1+Panchgavya @ 6% at 15, 30 and 45 DAS, T8- T2+Panchgavya @ 6% at 15, 30 and 45 DAS and T9- Control in three replications in randomized complete block design (RCBD). The higher values of growth attributes like number of leaves, number of branches, height and leaf area per plant were recorded by treatment vermicompost as per soil health card+Panchgavya @ 4% at 15, 30 and 45 days after sowing (DAS) which was found significantly superior over the other treatments at both the places. It was found that Panchgavya @ 4% at 15, 30 and 45 DAS along with vermicompost @ 2 t ha-1 obtained higher SPAD value (39.51), seed yield (908 kg ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (B:C ratio) under organic farming during kharif season at both the places.

Effect of biofertilizers and nutrient sources on the performance of mungbean at Rupandehi, Nepal

Nutrient management has been a major constraint in mungbean cultivation, resulting in huge economic losses to farmers. A field experiment was conducted at Paklihawa, Rupandehi, Nepal to evaluate the effects of different biofertilizers and nutrient sources on yield, performance, and economics of mungbean in 2020. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design comprising of three treatments of biofertilizers in the main plot i.e., Control, Rhizobium , and Azotobacter, and six treatments of organic and inorganic fertilizers in sub-plots i.e., Control, Farm Yard Manure (FYM) @5000 kg/ha, Poultry Manure (PM) @3000 kg/ha, Recommended dose of chemical fertilizer (RDF) @20:40:20 kg/ha, and Poultry manure in combination with the recommended dose of chemical fertilizer. The experiment results revealed that in the case of biofertilizer application, the highest grain yield was obtained by Rhizobium inoculation (1019.32 kg/ha) and with Azotobacte r inoculation (962.57 kg/ha) as compared to control (756.35 kg/ha). In the case of fertilizer application, integrated application of poultry manure and recommended dose of fertilizers resulted in a higher yield (1045 kg/ha), which is statistically similar to the combination of farmyard manure and recommended dose of fertilizers (991.08 kg/ha), followed by the solo use of fertilizer and control. The treatment with the recommended dose of fertilizers alone resulted in higher economics, while interaction with Rhizobium resulted in a benefit-cost ratio of 3.96. Moreover, organic manure treatment in control plots contributed to a low benefit-cost ratio (3) compared to other combinations of treatments (>3). The authors suggested the use of biofertilizers in combination with other fertilizers for better crop yields and high economic returns. However, further research is required to conclude the effects of different nutrient sources on successful mungbean cultivation. • The integrated application of biofertilizers and chemical fertilizers has a synergistic effect on the yield and performance of mungbean. • The recommended dose of fertilizers provided with Rhizobium inoculation resulted in higher economics. • Further comprehensive experimental research is needed to arrive at a more consistent and bolder conclusion.

Effects of inorganic and organic fertilizer with phosphorous supplementation in the growth and yield of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) & soil properties

Effects of inorganic and organic fertilizer with phosphorous supplementation in the growth and yield of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) & soil properties

Studies on Phosphorous Dynamics in Soils

Over two-thirds of the soils in the world suffer from phosphorus shortages (P). Due to phosphorus being unavailable to all but a small portion of plants, agricultural productivity diminishes. Phosphorus-deficient soils have traditionally been fertilized in order to decrease the severity of the environmental impact. Improving agricultural management practices for sustainable crop output, including reduction in phosphorus loss in terms of runoff, is the emphasis of this study. Investigating chemical fractionation mechanisms to distinguish between occluded P, acid-extractable calcium-bonded P, and non-occluded P is necessary for increasing inorganic phosphorous (Pi) in mung bean (Vigna radiata) types and establishing net grazing systems. Phosphate (P) is known to be transferred between pools due to weathering, with the highest P retention rates found in clay-rich soils. Soil with a finer texture is better able to absorb and fix phosphorus, which means more nutrients and water can be made available to the plant when mungbean varieties are inoculated into it. More photosynthesis means more accumulated dry stuff. The P-treated variety of mungbean had the greatest yield index (13.28). Pods per plant (46.02), pods per crop (8.20), test weight (40.63 gm), pod weight (8.0 g), and seed weight (1.0 g) were all significantly increased when fertilization done with Diammonium phosphate (DAP). An increase in nodule count, leaf area index, plant height, grain yield, total chlorophyll content, and straw output of up to 40% was observed at higher P2O5 concentrations (2988 kilograms per hectare). Each plant developed the maximum number of nodules after receiving injections of Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and Aspergillus awamori. Its plants were the biggest and most productive overall, and its leaves contained the highest concentrations of chlorophyll. In acidic piedmont soil, liming increased mungbean yields by adjusting other chemical properties and boosting pH. They contend that expanding India's production of pulses is essential for the country to eventually achieve food security. P nutrition needs to be incorporated into farmers' and extension workers' balanced nutrient management programs if they wish to see higher quality pulse yields and greater long-term profitability.

Green synthesis and application of GO nanoparticles to augment growth parameters and yield in mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)

Plant growth promotion has long been a challenge for growers all over the world. In this work, we devised a green nanomaterial-assisted approach to boostplant growth. It has been reportedthat carbon nanomaterials are toxic to plants because they can inhibit the uptake of nutrients if employed in higher concentrations, however this study shows that graphene oxide (GO) can be used as a regulator tool to improve plant growth and stability. Graphene oxide in different concentrations was added to the soil of mungbean. It isproved that when a suitable amount of graphene oxide was applied, it had a good influence on plant growth by enhancing the length of roots and shoots, number of leaves, number of root nodules per plant, number of pods, and seeds per pod. We presumethat the use ofbio-fabricated graphene oxide as a strategy would make it possible to boostboth plant growth and the significant increase in the number of seeds produced by each plant.
