Importance of Mungbean

• most important considering both area and production

• mainly cultivated after harvesting of Rabi crops

• can fit in as a cash crop between major cropping patterns

• shows increasing trend in productivity

• Added substantial amount of nitrogen and other nutrients to the succeeding non-legume crops

Alternate- (i) Early rabi crops/Sugarcane- Mung -T.aus/T.aman (ii) Sugarcane + 2nd intercrop

iii) Aus/Jute-Mung - Fallow = Kharif-II Alternate - Aus/Jute-Mung - Rabi crops

New potential cropping systemBy the inclusion of BARImung-6,the improved cropping pattern, wheat-mungbean - rice has been developed, which rotations can boosts farm productivity and soil fertility is also improved to benefit the succeeding crops.

Improvement of soil health:It will be break cereal based mono-culture in the cropping system. After two picking of pod it provides 8-10 t/ha green/brown bio-mass which improved soil health through recycling organic matter.

Utilization of fallow land

After wheat maximum lands remains fallow up to monsoon rice. But by the inclusion of BARImung-6, 75% lands of wheat can easily be brought under mungbean cultivation.

Mungbean for nutritional food security

It is a protein rich pulse crop which contents 21.8% protein, 46.8% carbohydrate and other nutrient elements. But at presently only 12 grams of pulse per capita per day are consumed against 45 grams due to unavailability of pulses. In this context, additional production of mungbean not only provided dal but also nutritious food like mugankur and fried dal etc. are to be produced.

Creation of Job opportunity

Picking of mungbean pod creates a job opportunity especially to the rural women and children in their idle time.

Mungbean Pod Pickers to Home

Employment opportunity for women through harvesting of mungbean pods

Weighing of harvested mungbean pods (BARImung-6)

Income generation

It was estimated that by picking mungbean pod about Tk 150-200/day/person can be earned. Additional production of mungbean may be use as value aided product which provide 3- 4 times income over raw mungbean and small industry will be developed which will increase income of the people.

Poverty alleviation

Creation of job and increase income will be help full poverty alleviation.
