Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is an important pulse crop which resists drought. It has more protein contents and better digestibility than any other pulse crop. It can be grown under drought stress conditions, where, the short time is available for growth. The residues of mung bean are also used as feed for animals and enhance the soil fertility as well. Therefore, it is important to enhance the productivity of the agronomically valuable food grain legumes to meet the nutritious food demand of the geometrically increasing population by exploiting scarce natural resources more efficiently by selecting variety which resist salt tolerance, using soil test results and applying effective management practices.
