Response of Mungbean Yield to Some Sustainable Farming Techniques

The study was conducted in the field of the College of Agriculture and Forestry at the University of Mosul during the summer agricultural season of 2024.

Investigate the effects of three agricultural factors: Factor 1: Two local mung bean varieties, the green and black ones; Factor 2: Three planting dates: June 1, June 15 and June 30 and Factor 3: Spraying at a concentration of 2 ppm with different types of foliar fertilizers: (wood vinegar, balanced nano fertilizer, amino acids and spraying with water only). Plants were sprayed at three different stages (at branching, at the beginning of flowering and during pods formation). The study was implemented according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications according to the split-plot system. After recording the data.

The results were as follows: The local green variety was superior in all studied traits. The 1/6 planting date was significantly superior in plant height, leaf area and pod length, while the 15/6 planting date was significantly superior in harvest index only, while the 30/6 planting date was significantly superior in the number of branches per plant, number of pods, biological yield and seed yield. Foliar fertilizer spray treatments recorded a significant superiority compared to water spraying, especially when spraying with wood vinegar and some traits were significantly affected by the use of balanced nano-compound and amino acids, especially seed yield.
