A number of field trials conducted during 3–4 years at the research farm of O.U.A.T. at Bhubaneswar on cropping sequences and mixed cropping with legumes on a loamy sand, acid lateritic soil indicated that the mung crop would benefit the following cereal crop in rotation and would increase the yield of latter by 2–4 q/ha. But it could not improve the production per unit area significantly when grown as a companion crop in cotton and arhar.
