Using residual soil moisture after monsoon rice crop for mung bean production in drought prone areas
Mung bean cultivation may be one of the most important long-term adaptation options for drought-prone areas in the northern and northwestern parts of Bangladesh. Since mung beans require minimum moisture, they can be cultivated after the t. aman rice harvest, using the residual moisture in the fields, thus responding to water scarcity and drought conditions. This practice describes land preparation for planting mung bean after t. aman rice.
