Delineation of selection criterion using pearson correlation and path coefficient analysis in mutant mungbean (Vigna radiata) lines

An experiment was conducted at the research farm of Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat to evaluate plant characteristics associated with grain yield and its attributes in mutant mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) lines in north Gujarat condition through correlation and path analyses during 2019. Eight independent and 1 dependent variable were evaluated for the character association analysis of the 1200 mutant mungbean lines. The uniform, healthy and dry seeds of mungbean variety GM 4 were treated with 4 different doses of gamma rays at B. A. R. C, Trombay, Mumbai during summer 2019. Selection and evaluation was performed till the M2 generation and final M3 generation was grown using augmented design in 21 blocks containing 57 selections and 3 checks. Five plants selected randomly from each replicated lines and subjected to data assortment and analysisusing OPSTAT. The seed yield was significantly and positively associated with both number of clusters per plant and number of pods per plant. Same traits, as concluded through the path analysis, had a significant positive direct effect on seed yield. Moderate magnitude of indirect positive effect was detected for number of cluster per plant thorough number of pod per plant (0.162). In order to achieve proper array of relation on seed yield, more traits need to be included in the study, clearly evidenced by the high residual effect of path analysis (0.535). Heatmap interpretation reveals colour grading according to the degree of correlation among the traits. Selection method entered on these 2 traits along with others will be productive to increase seed yield in mungbean.

Water productivity of summer mungbean (Vigna radiata) in relation to irrigation, tillage and mulch in sandy loam and loamy sand soils

There is a growing interest among the farmers of the state to take an additional crop, i.e. summer mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) in the window period of rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system with a little emphasis on the water productivity of summer mungbean. The present study was aimed to assess the water productivity of summer mungbean under differential irrigation regimes, tillage and mulch in sandy loam and loamy sand soils. A field experiment was conducted during the summer 2021 and 2022 with three irrigation regimes (based on irrigation water to PAN-E ratio of 0.75 (I0.75), 0.50 (I0.50), 0.25 (I0.25) in sandy loam and 0.8 (I0.8), 0.6 (I0.6) and 0.4 (I0.4) in loamy sand soils, two tillage systems, viz. deep tillage and conventional tillage; and two mulch rates (no mulch and application of rice straw mulch @6 t/ha). Irrigation regime, I0.75 and I0.8 resulted in higher crop biomass, however the seed yield and water productivity were highest under I0.50 and I0.6. Deep tillage with mulch resulted in higher seed yield and water productivity in comparison to conventional tillage with no mulch. Medium irrigated regime (I0.50 and I0.6) coupled with deep tillage and rice straw mulch was found to be effective in improving the seed yield of mung bean in loamy sand soils in north-west India.

Effect of Various Microbial Inoculums on the Growth, Quality and Nutrient Uptake of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.)

A field experiment was conducted at Technology Park of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (UP) to study the Growth, Quality, and Nutrient Uptake of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.) as Influenced by Different Microbial Inoculums during the kharif season of 2020. The experiment including ten treatments was conducted in RBD design and replicated thrice. The maximum values of growth attributes viz., Root length (15.7 cm), Root weight (1.4:1.06 fresh/dry g/plant), Effective nodules (41.5 no./plant), Nodules dry weight (96.3 mg/plant) and Grain yield (1106 kg/ha), Quality i.e., Protein content (25.4%), Protein yield (279.7 kg/ha) and nutrient content and uptake viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were recorded under NPK Consortia +ZSB, each @ 20 ml/kg followed by NPK Consortia @ 20 ml/kg. This shows that NPK Consortia with ZSB have better adoptability in growth, yield and quality of mung bean.

APSIM next generation mungbean model: A tool for advancing mungbean production

Mungbean, a grain legume with high nutritional value, is grown widely throughout Asia and increasingly in Australia. Despite growing interest amongst farmers, mungbean remains an inconsistent and thus risky crop to plant in Australia. Cropping system models like the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) are valuable tools for helping farmers to examine options for improving crop management and assess production risks across potential growing regions for mungbean. This paper outlines the simulation capacity of a new mungbean crop model parameterized using the Plant Modelling Framework in APSIM Next Generation, the newest version of the APSIM framework. The aim of the paper is to document the parameterization and validation processes of the model. The new mungbean model was built using data from 28 field experiments to simulate measured phenology, canopy development, biomass accumulation/partitioning, stress responses, N fixation, root growth, and yield across a wide range of environments. The root mean squared error (RMSE) in predictions for grain weight and aboveground weight were 25.4 g m−2 and 91.4 g m−2, respectively. The model successfully captured the dynamics of crop response to sowing dates, water/irrigation regimes, and climate. The new mungbean model is a robust and accurate tool for use in Australia and tropical/sub-tropical Asia. Researchers can use the new mungbean model to determine best management practices such as the optimal time to sow mungbeans in different environments. The output from model simulations can help farmers assess risks associated with sowing at different times and soil water conditions specific to their region. Such risk analysis can improve farmer decision-making confidence in mungbean, increasing its potential production for Australia. Overall, the new APSIM mungbean model can be used effectively to identify and close the mungbean yield gap, mitigate risk of crop failure, and increase profits for mungbean farmers in Australia and tropical/sub-tropical Asia; it has the capacity to assist with increasing mungbean production globally under changing climate conditions.

The growth and yield performances of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) as influenced by the use of cow dung and chemical fertilizers

To investigate the effect of cow dung and chemical fertilizers on the growth and yield performances of mungbean (BARI Mung 6), an experiment was carried out in the research field of the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the kharif season of 2020. The experiment was laid out as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications comprising seven manure-fertilizer treatments. The results showed that the different levels of cow dung and fertilizers significantly influenced mungbean growth parameters and seed yield. The highest plant height (48.2 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (10.3), number of branches plant-1 (3.9), maximum number of pods plant-1 (19.3), seeds pod-1 (10.4), 1000-seed weight (43.4g), and the highest seed yield (1.42 t ha-1) were obtained from the application of 80% of the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) plus 20% cow dung. It is concluded that applying 20% cow dung (1.2 t ha-1) coupled with 80% of the recommended amount of fertilizers together produced superior results for the growth and yield of mungbean compared to applying fertilizer or cow dung alone.

Utilization of Vermicompost and Npk Fertilizers on the Growth, Yield, Nutrient and Protein Content of Mung Bean (Vigna Radiata L.)

A pot experiment was conducted in Soil, Water and Environment department, University of Dhaka, during the late rabi season for 60 days with mung bean plants. The study was cnducted to evaluate the interactive effects of vermicompost and NPK fertilizers on mung bean plants’ growth, yield, nutrient and protein content. The trial was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) followed by three replications, having ten treatments, including control. The first four treatments contained vermicompost mixed with soil at the rate of 2, 4, 6, and 8 ton ha-1. The other four treatments contained 50% of N12P22K10 kg ha-1, while a single treatment possesses N25P45K20 kg ha-1. The growth and yield contributing parameters, viz. plant height (30 cm), leaf number (18 plant-1), leaf area (152 cm2), branch number (4 plant-1), weight of seed (4.45 g), yield of fresh (17.81 g) and dry (10.32 g) mung bean plant was found maximum with T10 (vermicompost 8 ton ha-1 + N12P22K10 kg ha-1). The mineral nutrient content N (4.69%), P (0.08%) and K (0.65%) attained the highest in the harvested seed in the same T10. The protein content (29.32%) was also found highest in T10. On the basis of the findings, it may be recommended to use VC 8 ton ha-1 plus N12P22K10 kg ha-1 to cultivate the mung bean in the context of Bangladesh. J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour.

Seed Priming with H2O2 Confers Better Yield in Mungbean by Ameliorating the Harmful Effect of Saline– Alkaline Stress

High salt concentrations and high pH occur simultaneously in nature, however, presently most of the studies have mainly focused on only salinity, the research on salt-alkali combined stress are comparatively very limited. Hydrogen peroxide is an important signaling molecule. However, the role of exogenously applied hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under saline–alkaline stress is not known. The main objectives of present study was to assess role of exogenously applied H2O2 as seed priming in mitigating the harmful effect of saline–alkaline stress on differentially tolerant mungbean genotypes (TMB-37 and MH-1314). Saline-alkaline stress significantly decreased the chlorophyll content, leaf relative water content (RWC) and yield while enhanced malondialdehyde (MDA), proline and antioxidant enzyme activity in root and leaf samples of both mungbean cultivars. Seeds priming were done with 0.01% H2O2 and distilled water. Seed priming with 0.01% H2O2 significantly improved the yield and yield attributes along with increment in leaf chlorophyll content, RWC as well as accumulation of osmolytes. The activities of antioxidant enzymes, viz., SOD, CAT and POX were also significantly increased in both mungbean genotypes and especially the CAT activity both in root and leaf tissue. However, relatively higher improvement was observed in genotype TMB-37. In conclusion, exogenously applied 0.01% H2O2 improved the saline–alkaline tolerance, which was reflected in terms of enhanced photosynthetic pigments, RWC, proline accumulation, and antioxidant enzyme activity of root as well shoot tissues and yield.

PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN CABAI DI LAHAN KERING YANG DITUMPANGSARIKAN DENGAN TANAMAN KACANG-KACANGAN PADA WAKTU TANAM YANG BERBEDA

This study aimed to determine growth and yield of red chili (Capsicum annum L.) in dryland intercropped with legumes at different planting times. A field experiment was conducted from May to September 2022 in Amor-Amor Hamlet, Gumantar Village, Kayangan District, North Lombok Regency. There were six intercropping treatments and three monoculture treatments tested. The treatments were: intercropping chili with groundnut or with mungbean planted or inserted at the same time, one week and three weeks after planting (WAP) the chili. The monoculture treatments were chili, groundnut and mungbean. The treatments were arranged in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results showed that intercropping chili with mungbean and groundnut at various planting times affected the growth and yield of chili. The yield of chili increased with the presence of groundnut planted simultaneously and with mungbean planted three weeks after chili. Meanwhile, there was a decrease in the yield of groundnut and mungbean as a result of intercropping treatment.

Influence of Various Organic Amendments on Growth and Yield Attributes of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.)

A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2022 to study the influence of various organic amendments on various attributes of growth and yield of mung bean. The experiment was laid out in four replications with 11 treatments in Randomized Block design (RBD). The results revealed that the highest plant height (52.8 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (35.3), number of branches plant-1 (11.1), chlorophyll content using SPAD (58.4), leaf area index (1.85) was recorded from the combined application of T11= Recommended dose of fertilizers(RDF) + Vermicompost + Jeevamrutam + Rhizobium. Similarly for yield attributes the highest number of pods plant-1 (31.35), pod’s length (11.05 cm), number of grains pods-1 (12.2), test weight (45.7 g) , grain yield (1242.5 kg ha-1), straw yield (2181.1 kg ha-1), biological yield (3405.3 kg ha-1) and harvest index (36%) was recorded in combined application of same treatment T11. The result showed that combined application of organic manures had positive effects on growth and yield parameters of mung bean.

Influence of Sowing Date on Phenology, Biometric, and Yield of Mungbean (Vigna radiata) Cultivars in Chitwan, Nepal

Mungbean is a commercially promising legume crop, accounting for a very low productivity of approximately 0.5 tons ha1 in the Terai region of Nepal. This study aimed to achieve the potential yield of mungbean promising cultivars planting at optimum sowing time. An experiment was conducted at the Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU), Rampur, Chitwan, during the spring of 2019 in a split-plot design (SPD) with three replications and 16 treatment combinations. Four sowing dates at 15 days intervals (13th February, 28th February, 15th March, and 30th March) of 2019; cultivars viz. Kalyan, Pratikshya, Pratigya, and Pant-5 are considered as main and subplot factors. The Dunken test was carried out to compare the mean in R-software at p ≤ 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that earlier planting (Feb 13 planting) resulted in delayed emergence, slower growth, and the lowest yield (1.79 tons/ha). The March 15 to March 30 plantations resulted in significantly faster emergence, germination, and growth showing a higher yield. Pant-5 yielded a higher grain yield, which was statistically at par with Partigya (2.08 tons/ha) and Partikshya (1.983 tons/ha). Vigna radiata plantations from March 15 to March 30 are the optimum sowing times for higher productivity (2.119 tons/hectare) and high potential yield, which can be applied for perfect decision-making in mungbean plantations. Future work on least-squares analysis for understanding the genotypic-environment interaction of economic traits and the effect of different nutrient sources on cultivars has scope.

Yield of Mungbean as Influenced by Planting Geometry and Integrated Fertilizer Management

Mungbean production is decreasing because of inappropriate management of fertilizer and plant population so a study was initiated to find out the effect of different combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers with different plant geometry on the yield of mungbean var. BARI Mung-5. The experiment was laid out in a split- plot design with three replications. The experiment comprised of three level of plant geometry viz. S1= 20 cm × 10 cm, S2= 30 cm × 10 cm and S3= 45 cm × 15 cm, and six level of fertilizers: F0= Control (without fertilizer), F1= Recommended dose of NPK, F2=5 t ha-1 cowdung, F3=5 t ha-1cowdung with recommended dose of NPK, F4= 2.5 t ha-1 cowdung with recommended dose of NPK and F5=2.5 t ha-1 cowdung with half recommended dose of NPK. Among the three spacing, 30 cm × 10 cm (S2) produced maximum seed yield (1022.8 kg ha-1) while the lowest in S3 (834.4 kg ha-1). Cowdung had a significant effect on the seed yield and yield attributes of mungbean. The maximum seed yield (1038.9 kg ha-1) was obtained F4 while minimum (930.0 kg h-1) by applying cowdung @5 t ha-1. Among the treatment combinations, S2F4 was showed maximum yield (1156.7 kg ha-1) when considering stover yield and biological yield. Plant spacing of 30 cm × 10 cm along with 2.5 t ha-1 with recommended dose of 40, 80, 30 kg ha-1 of Urea, TSP, MoP could be more beneficial for the farmers to get maximum yield from var. BARI Mung-5.

Effect of Added Urea Foliar Spray and Leaf Clipping on Growth and Yield Response of Mungbean

An experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during March to May 2018 to study the impact of added urea foliar spray and leaf clipping on growth and yield of mungbean. The experiment was laid out in Split-plot Design with three replications and composed of four levels of urea foliar spray viz. F0 = Recommended Fertilizer (RF) + No Foliar Spray (FS), F1 = RF + 1% Urea FS at Flower Initiation (FI), F2 = RF + 2% Urea FS at FI, F3 = RF + 3% Urea FS at FI and four levels of Leaf clipping viz. C0 = No leaf clipping, C1 = Clipping 1 basal leaf, C 2 = Clipping 2 basal leaves, C3= Clipping total apical leaves having no inflorescence. Results indicated that foliar spray and leaf clipping had significant effect on most of the growth and yield contributing parameters. In case of foliar spray of urea, the maximum plant height, nodules plant-1, highest above ground dry matter plant-1, pods plant-1, pod length, seeds pod-1, 1000 seed weight, seed yield, stover yield and biological yield were recorded from F0. In case of leaf clipping, all growth and yield attributes were recorded highest from C1. Regarding combined effect, the highest growth and yield parameters were recorded from the treatment combination of F0C1. So, F0 along with C1 is suggested for yield improvement in mungbean cultivation.

Agronomic and Yield Performance of Maize-Mungbean Intercropping with Different Mungbean Seed Rates under Loamy Sand Soils of Cambodia

Increasing crop productivity through crop diversification under the same unit area has been considered as a way for sustainable intensification of cropping systems. This research was conducted on loamy sand soil at the Crop Research Station of Royal University of Agriculture (RUA) in Cambodia. The objective was to evaluate the growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) and mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) crops and land-equivalent ratio (LER) of maize-mungbean intercropping system using different seed rates of mungbean at 0% (0 kg ha−1), 25% (10 kg ha−1), 50% (20 kg ha−1), 75% (30 kg ha−1), 100% (40 kg ha−1) of recommended rates. The experiment was laid out using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The agronomic traits and yield of both crops were measured at harvest. The weeds were removed three times to measure biomass. The results showed that there was no significant difference in agronomic traits and yield of maize under either maize-mungbean intercropping or maize monocropping irrespective of different mungbean seed rates. The highest mungbean seed rates as recommended did not decrease the growth and yield of intercropped maize. In contrast, the presence of mungbean in the intercropping suppressed weed growth significantly and the trend of weed biomass decreased with increasing mungbean seed rates. The intercropped mungbean grain yield decreased in comparison with monocropping mungbean. Overall, the land equivalent ratio (LER) was higher than 1 under the intercropping, showing its agronomic benefits, compared to monocropping. Therefore, maize-mungbean intercropping is a potential practice for improving productivity and managing weeds. Further research needs to be investigated under different ecological and social-economical niches to determine overall potential benefits and opportunities for scaling.

Evaluation of Different Integrated Management Strategies against Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) on Mung Bean

The study was conducted in the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during April‒June, 2021 to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated management approaches against thrips on mung bean. The treatments comprising seed treatment, blue sticky trap and bio-pesticides i.e. Tracer 45SC (Spinosad), Biotrin 0.5% AS, Ecomec 1.8EC or synthetic chemical insecticides i.e. Confidor 70 WG, Actara 25WG, Stargate 48SC, Novastar 56EC and an untreated control were evaluated against thrips. The efficacy of the integrated management packages differed significantly against the thrips species Megalurothrips usitatus and Thrips palmi. Among them, the integrated management approach comprising seed treatment+blue sticky trap+Stargate 48SC was the most effective and reduced the highest percent of total thrips population on top trifoliate leaves and terminal shoots (84.46% and 80.77%, respectively) at vegetative stage and on flower buds and flowers (81.26% and 80.54%, respectively) at reproductive stage of mung bean. The lowest flower bud and flower infestation (17.35% and 21.66%, respectively) and shedding (13.32% and 8.41%, respectively) and the highest number of pod (34.28 plant-1), pod length (9.29 cm), seed (10.82 pod-1), 1000 seed weight (34.10 g) and yield (1642.19 kg ha-1) of mung bean was found in the integrated management package including seed treatment+blue sticky trap+Stargate 48SC followed by the management strategy comprising seed treatment+blue sticky trap+Confidor 70 WG and seed treatment+Blue sticky trap+Actara 25WG.

Effect of Natural Phytohormones on Growth, Nutritional Status, and Yield of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.) and N Availability in Sandy-Loam Soil of Sub-Tropics

Climate changes and poor soil nutrient profiles in sub-tropics are determinant factors to estimate crop productivity. This study aims to evaluate the impact of phytohormones, e.g., indole acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA3), on mung bean yield, seed nutritional profile, and soil N availability in the sub-tropical region of Pakistan. The mung bean plants were treated with three levels (0, 30, and 60 mg L−1) of IAA and GA3 individually and/or in combination using a hydraulic sprayer. The amendments were applied in the flowering stage (approximately 25 days after germination) in a randomized complete block design. The results revealed that the 60 mg L−1 concentration of IAA and GA3 led to significant changes in the growth and yield traits compared to non-treated plants. For example, GA3 positively influenced the biological yield (35.0%), total carbohydrate (7.0%), protein (16.0%), and nitrogen (14.0%) contents in mung bean seeds, compared to the control (CK). Additionally, the combined foliar treatment of IAA and GA3 (IAA2 + GA2) displayed a much stronger influence on yield attributes, such as the number of pods by 66.0%, pods’ weights by 142.0%, and seed yield by 106.5%, compared with the CK. Mung bean plants showed a significant improvement in leaf photosynthetic pigments under a higher level (60 mg L−1) of sole and combined treatments of IAA and GA3. Moreover, except abscisic acid, the endogenous concentration of IAA, GA3, and zeatin was enhanced by 193.0%, 67.0%, and 175.0% after the combined application of IAA and GA3 (IAA2 + GA2) compared to the CK treatment. In addition, soil N availability was increased by 72.8% under the IAA2 treatment and 61.5% under IAA2 + GA2, respectively, compared with the control plot. It was concluded that the combined treatment of IAA and GA3 (IAA2 + GA2) followed by the sole application of GA3 and IAA at a 60 mg L−1 concentration were most effective treatments to improve the morpho-physiology and nutrient profile of mung beans; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms need to be explored further.

Growth, Yield and Nutrient Content of Mungbean as Influenced by Foliar Potassium Application and Irrigation Levels

A field experiment was conducted in 2018 to study the response of Summer Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) to foliar potassic fertilization under different moisture regimes. The experiment was laid out in split plot design by having 16 treatment combinations with 2 irrigation levels in the main plot and 6 foliar potassium sprays in subplots, which were replicated thrice. Results revealed that the growth parameters of mungbean viz., plant height, plant spread, number of leaves/plant, LAI, dry matter accumulation/plant, and grain yield were significantly higher under 0.6 IW/CPE ratio as compared to 0.4 IW/CPE ratio. Nutrient content (N, P and K) was also found higher under 0.6 IW/CPE ratio than 0.4 IW/CPE ratio. Among potassium treatments, foliar application of 1%K through KNO3/KCl at flowering and pod development stage produced significantly higher values of growth parameters viz., plant height, number of leaves and branches/plant and dry matter accumulation/plant at all the stages of growth except at 25 DAS. Foliar application of 1%K through KNO3/KCl at flowering and pod development stage recorded significantly higher grain and straw yield than rest of the treatments. Nutrient content was found higher under foliar application of 1%K through KNO3/KCl at flowering and pod development stage but did not differ significantly.

Decision Support System for Selecting Mung Bean Cultivation Sites in Central Thailand Based on Soil Suitability Class

Information to aid the selection of suitable cultivated areas remains meager for mung bean, despite it being a socio-economically important legume crop in Thailand. Hence, a user-friendly soil assessment tool is required to help properly choose planting areas. We aimed to provide a decision support system for mung bean cultivation in central Thailand. Soil suitability classes were performed using relevant factors and data essential for mung bean cultivation in 22 provinces in central Thailand. A decision support system was developed as soil map and mobile phone application using data based on soil suitability classes. Information of mung bean growth and yield grown in experimental fields with different soil suitability classes was used for preliminary validation. The main areas were very suitable (S1) and moderately suitable (S3) for mung bean plantation, accounting for 1,319,841 and 1,327,804 ha, respectively. The number of pods per plant and yield per plant of mung bean were higher in S1 areas (12.83–16.65 pods per plant and 8.35–12.43 g/plant, respectively) than in S3 areas. The mung bean yield was also greater in S1 areas (1613.8–2158.7 kg/ha) than in S3 areas (735.8–1138.6 kg/ha). The findings suggest the possibility of using developed decision support system.
