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

New potential cropping system
By the inclusion of BARImung-6,the
improved cropping pattern, wheatmungbean - 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.
Employment opportunity for women
through harvesting of mungbean pods

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.
