1、Frontiers
This study provides a theoretical and practical foundation for precision foliar nutrient management in mung beans during the flowering and podding stages in semi-arid regions.
2、From field to food: Impact of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers on
These findings suggest that judicious allocation of N and P fertilizers can effectively promote the grouting of mung bean grains and accelerate the rate of starch accumulation, thereby enabling earlier maturation of mung bean grains.
3、Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization to achieve expected
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is an important edible bean in the human diet worldwide. However, its growth, development, and yield may be restricted or limited by insufficient or unbalanced nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) ...
4、Optimizing mung bean productivity and root morphology with
These findings highlight the potential of multi-strain biofertilizers to maintain mung-bean productivity while reducing dependence on synthetic N inputs.
5、Research Progress on the Effect of Fertilizer Types on the Growth and
Soil nutrients are important factors that affect mung bean yield and quality. Therefore, rational allocation of fertilizer ratio to improve the soil nutrient environment is one of the important means to ensure the normal growth and development of mung beans and improve quality.
(PDF) Effect of nitrogen on growth and yield on mungbean in low
An experiment was conducted at Akola during winter (rabi) seasons of 1990-91 and 1991-92 to study the effect of nitrogen and irrigation on french bean. (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).
Are Mung Beans Nitrogen Fixing Plants?
Not all legumes, such as faba beans and chickpeas, exhibit the same nitrogen fixation abilities as mung beans. Understanding nitrogen supply is crucial, as insufficient rhizobia can hinder nitrogen fixation in legumes.
Mung Bean
During the seedling stage, opt for low-nitrogen fertilizers to encourage strong root establishment. As your plants transition to the flowering stage, shift to fertilizers higher in phosphorus and potassium.
Response of Mungbean to Foliar Application of Nitrogen and
The experiment was therefore to investigate whether exogenous supply of nitrogen, in the form of urea and urea plus micronutrients, during flowering and pod de- velopment stages would increase seed yield in mungbean.
Foliar fertilizer and irrigation effects on mung bean: implications for
However, during the critical flowering and podding stage, plants often experience intense internal nutrient competition and various environmental stresses. These factors lead to premature leaf senescence, reduced photosynthetic capacity, and ultimately constrain yield potential. (Yang et al., 2020).
Mung bean requires nitrogen fertilizer during its flowering stage. As one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth, nitrogen is particularly critical for leguminous crops like mung bean. During flowering, the plant's demand for nitrogen increases due to accelerated growth, prominent leaf and stem elongation, and reproductive development. A lack of nitrogen can inhibit growth, leading to irregular flowering, reduced flower count, and lower fruit quality.
Key Roles of Nitrogen Fertilizer:
- Promotes Plant Growth: Enhances mung bean vigor, improves disease resistance, and supports smooth flowering.
- Stimulates Bud Differentiation: Facilitates the formation of more flower buds under optimal conditions, increasing flowering rates.
- Improves Fruit Quality: Enhances taste, color, and nutritional value of mung bean seeds.
- Boosts Stress Resistance: Moderate nitrogen application strengthens pest and disease resistance, reducing incidence of pathogens.
- Supports Root Development: Stimulates root growth, improving water and nutrient uptake, and enhancing drought/waterlogging tolerance.
- Increases Yield: Optimized nitrogen management boosts productivity, maximizing economic returns for farmers.
Best Practices for Farmers:
- Rational Fertilization: Adjust nitrogen dosage and timing based on growth stages and soil conditions to avoid over- or under-application.
- Combine Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers: Supplement nitrogen with organic materials (e.g., compost, animal manure) for balanced nutrition.
- Integrate Base and Topdressing Fertilizers: Apply base fertilizer at planting and topdress (追加施肥) before flowering to meet peak nitrogen demands.
- Monitor Soil pH: Soil acidity affects nitrogen availability. In acidic soils, nitrogen may become fixed; in alkaline soils, it can volatilize. Adjust application methods accordingly.
- Observe Plant Health: Slow growth or yellowing leaves signal potential nitrogen imbalance. Timely adjust fertilization strategies.
Nitrogen is indispensable during mung bean’s flowering stage. Proper application improves growth, flowering, and yield while maximizing economic benefits. Farmers should prioritize balanced fertilization, organic-inorganic integration, and adaptive management to ensure optimal conditions for crop development.
