How long is the growth cycle of mung beans?

Introduction to Mung Bean Growth

Mung bean is a legume plant, also known as green bean, mung bean, plant bean, etc. It is native to India and Myanmar. It is now widely grown in East Asian countries. In addition, it is also grown in small quantities in Africa, Europe, and the United States. The main producing areas are China, Myanmar and other countries.

Mung bean growth cycle

Mung bean is relatively resistant to barrenness and is not very demanding on soil quality. It is suitable for growing in loam or calcareous alluvial soil. Neutral soil is most suitable, but it is also tolerant to slightly acidic or alkaline soil. The growth period of mung bean is approximately 70 to 110 days.

Mung bean growth rate

Mung beans grow relatively fast. They are usually soaked before sowing. Basically, they will germinate after two days and grow roots about 0.5 cm long. If they are sown in late April to early May in spring, they can be harvested in August.

Mung bean growth cycle management

The annual yield of mung beans per mu is generally around 100-150 kilograms. It usually matures in two or three months after planting. It will bloom when the temperature reaches a certain level during its growth period, but it is most afraid of high temperatures, rain, and waterlogging, otherwise it will directly affect the flowering rate and pod setting rate, affecting the yield.

Temperature Management

Mung beans prefer warm and humid climates and are resistant to high temperatures. They are suitable for growing in an environment with an average daily temperature of 30-36°C. They grow luxuriantly and can germinate at temperatures of 8-12°C. The suitable temperature for growth is 25-30°C.

Fertilization management

Normally, when true leaves appear on mung beans, apply some light fertilizer and water to ensure that the plant continues to grow. This will continue until the plant has fully grown and branches and the root system is fully developed, and then it will bloom and produce pods.
