Grower Feedback has indicated that there are still limitations to achieving reliable mungbean production. While wheat is the main pillar crop, growers understand that a monoculture creates weed and disease issues and therefore requires rotation crops to be available. Mungbeans provide a profitable short season alternative summer legume across the Northern region. GRDC farming systems trials have confirmed that systems with legumes, particularly mungbean, achieve similar potential profits to other systems in the poorer runs of seasons, but offer significant upside under more favourable conditions. With current mungbean varieties offering greater reliability and yield potential, and global demand maintaining high prices (5-year average $1200/t), further development and extension effort is required to expand the planted area of mungbean and increase mungbean yield to deliver improve profitability and systems benefits to Northern growers. This proposed investment is focused on providing growers the agronomic parameters for stabilising mungbean yield by environment and meeting the yield potential. The investment is looking to apply previous research to provide growers a series of regional 'On-Farm' trials to increase confidence for all production areas. The investment will validate and extend the Genetic*Environment*Management understanding from recent GRDC projects and their consequent recommendations for mungbean management. This is a development and extension project using a ...
