Legumes build soil fertility and contribute substantial amounts of N for sustainability of cereal based cropping systems. These lacking information for the system as a whole in rainfed pothwar were investigated through field experiments at two different locations i.e. (Research farm of University of Arid Agriculture Rawalpindi, UAAR and farmer’s fields in Chakwal district). Mung bean (Var. NM-9...

In the 1:1 (cotton:grain) system of short-rotation, soybean, bean, mung bean crops were harvested as a repeat crop after winter wheat. Their stem and mixed siderate (perco, oats, green peas) planted in second half August, blue mass grown October-November was for livestock. The lower 15-20 cm part plowed under plow manure, at end one rotation, amount organic carbon soil increased by 0.041-0.073%...

The seeds and sprouts of mung bean (Vigna radiata), a common food, contain abundant nutrients with biological activities. This review provides insight into the nutritional value of mung beans and its sprouts, discussing chemical constituents that have been isolated in the past few decades, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, organic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Moreover, we al...

Objectives: This study aims to improve and expand the performance of carboxy methyl mung bean starch (CMMS) as a gelling agent and an oil-inwater (o/w) emulsion stabilizer via cross-linking reaction with dichloroacetic acid (DCA). Methods: Mung bean starch was carboxymethylated with chloroacetic acid and subsequently cross-linked with 0.1-10% DCA. Fifteen cross-linked carboxy methyl mung bean s...

Low concentrations of boron were found to affect the bioelectric field potentials of hypocotyls excised from 4-day-old mung bean (Phaseolus aureus cv. Oklahoma 612) seedlings grown in darkness and irradiated with red light. The significance of this effect is discussed in relation to the possible role of boron in some membrane function.

With approximately 11 million habitants, Guatemala is mostly a rural country, with 60 percent of the population living on farms and 50 percent of the population indigenous. Maize and beans are the main staple food in most households, with a per capita consumption of 9.4 kg per year. Since few other sources of protein are available, this amount is not sufficient to ensure an acceptable nutrition...

Sweet sorghum is a popular grain crop grown in water stress prone areas in the world. Its sole stand leaves ample resources untapped. This study evaluated the feasibility of intercropping sweet sorghum using eight intercropping patterns composed of 2 x 2 x 2 factorial combinations of two legumes (viz. mung bean and soybean), two row patterns [viz. alternate single row (ASR) and double row (ADR)...

Galactose inhibited auxin-induced cell elongation of oat coleoptiles but not that of azuki bean stems. Galactose decreased the level of UDP-glucose in oat coleoptiles but not in azuki bean hypocotyls. Glucose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase activity (EC 2.7.7.9), in a crude extract from oat coleoptiles, was competitively inhibited by galactose-1-phosphate, but that enzyme from azuki bean was not....

Mung bean (Vigna radiate (L.) Wilczek) is an important traditional food legume crop, with high economic and nutritional value. It is widely grown in China and other Asian countries. Despite its importance, genomic information is currently unavailable for this crop plant species or some of its close relatives in the Vigna genus. In this study, more than 103 million high quality cDNA sequence rea...

in the absence of herbicides, cover crops play an important role for weed management in organic than in conventional farming. therefore, in order to evaluate the effects of cover crop management and plant density of buckwheat (fagopyrum esculentum) as cover crop on weed suppression, a field experiment was conducted at the research farm of university of zanjan, during the growing season of 2011....
