Optimizing growth and yield in Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.) through combined nutrient management strategies

Abstract

This paper explores the effectiveness of integrated nutrient management (INM) approaches in enhancing the growth, yield, and nutritional quality of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.), a crucial legume crop in sustainable agriculture. By combining organic and inorganic nutrient sources, INM aims to improve soil health, increase crop productivity, and minimize environmental impacts. Field experiments were conducted across diverse agro-ecological zones to evaluate the response of mung bean to various INM practices. The results underscore the potential of tailored INM regimes to optimize mung bean production, highlighting the importance of sustainable nutrient management in legume cultivation.
