Green Gram
Green gram (Vigna radiata), also known as mung bean, is an important pulse crop valued for its high protein content, quick maturity, and easy digestibility. It grows well in warm climates with optimum temperatures ranging from 25–35°C and is commonly cultivated during kharif, rabi, and summer seasons. Green gram thrives in well-drained sandy loam to loamy soils with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. The crop requires moderate rainfall of about 60–75 cm and is sensitive to waterlogging and frost. With its short duration and nitrogen-fixing ability, green gram performs best under timely sowing, good drainage, and balanced nutrient management, making it ideal for crop rotation and intercropping systems.
