Rice yield increase by 15% to 20%. When phosphorous (P) applied to mungbean rice yield increase of 13% to 33%.

Removal of above-ground plant material resulted in no effect on rice yield.

9 kg of biologically fixed N and 21 kg of biologically fixed N with P application.

Mungbean as green manure

China

Relative contributions of N to wheat grain from mungbean: 48.4% - 68.1%.

Accumulative N decomposition rate of the shoots for mungbean were 67%, of the roots 55% (higher than Huai bean and soybean). Mean total N input: 154 kg N ha−1 yr−1.

Above-ground biomass was incorporated

Yield of maize increased compared to fallow.

Mungbean was harvested for grain and fodder purposes

[98]

Wheat quality increased by increased levels of macronutrients (N, P, potassium, calcium, magnesium), sugar content, amino acid, proteins, and phytohormones, compared to fallow land. Wheat biomass increased, compared to wheat grown after fallow.

Soil organic matter, N%, nitrate, P (ppm), water content, organic carbon (C), potassium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc increased compared to fallow land.

Increase of soil microbial biomass-C in wheat-mungbean rotation compared to wheat-maize by 25.7% to 31.2%. Bacterial population increased with mungbean by 13.3% to 42.1%, as well as organic N by 14.7% to 31.8%.

Cropping systems with mungbean improved rice grain and straw yield in subsequent season in contrast with rice monoculture.

Increased content of soil organic C and a labile C fraction compared with rice monoculture. Less pronounced improvements in electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity and total acidity.
