Inoculant Required: Bradyrhizobium sp. (Vigna). Learn More.

• Climbing growth characteristic makes this plant ideal for multi-species blends

• Indeterminate plant species & therefore, can accumulate significant vegetative growth.

• More drought tolerant than soybeans and can provide nitrogen to the system in the hot/summer months. This is the value of including a warm-season legume in multi-species cover crops.

• Poor frost tolerance.

• Excellent palatability - high protein source.

• High nitrogen-fixing capabilities.

Mung beans (Vigna radiata) additional information:

• Growth habit: Mung beans are classified as vining or semi-vining plants. (climbing growth characteristics)

• Height and spread: The height of mung bean plants can vary depending on the variety and growing conditions. On average, they reach a height of 30 to 90 centimetres (12 to 35 inches).

• Leaves: Mung bean plants have trifoliate leaves, meaning each leaf is composed of three leaflets. The leaflets are oval or lance-shaped, with a smooth surface.

• Growing conditions: Mung beans are warm-season plant species. Mung beans are known for their ability to tolerate drought.

• Growth cycle: Mung beans have a relatively short growth cycle, typically ranging from 60 to 90 days.

• Nitrogen fixation: Mung bean plants, like other legumes, have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. These bacteria reside in root nodules and convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be used by the plant. This ability to fix nitrogen reduces the need for synthetic nitrogen.
