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, wheat-mungbean - rice has been developed, which rotations can boosts farm productivity and soil fertility is also improved to benefit the succeeding crops.

Farmer’s field demonstration

Production of grain Table -1: Two years (2002-03 & 2003-04) pooled results of yield of rice-wheat and mungbean over location Cropping Pattern Yield (t/ha) Ishurdi Rajshahi Rice (BINA-4) Wheat (Shatabdi) Mung (BARI-6) Rice-Wheat-Mung 5.0 3.3 1.5 4.8 3.5 1.4 Rice-wheat-Fallow 4.6 3.1 - 4.3 3.2

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.

Table -2 : Effect of BARImung-6 cultivation on nutrient status of soil at PRC, Ishurdi Situation OM (%) Total N (%) K (m.e./ 100 g soil) P (µ gram/gram soil) Before 2.41 0.12 0.38 20.55 After 2.55 0.14 0.40 22.52

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 Mungbean Pod Pickers to Home

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.

Grow more pulses to keep your pulse well Thank You All
