The short duration mung varieties are capable of synchronous growth in general. But for long duration variety, synchronous nature is not observed. It is very labour consuming crop to harvest periodically. Is there any possibility of plant nutrients (especially micronutrients like Zn, B etc.) to increase the synchronous nature of these long duration variety of mung bean.
Maturity depends upon genetic character of the crop. Synchronous nature of the crop can be improved by Paul application.
Generally pulses do not have synchronous maturity so pods should be harvested in two pickings. Amarendra has rightly mentioned that synchronous maturity character is genetically governed and breeders are striving hard for this purpose. There is one variety from AVRDC which possess this character.
I know that synchronous maturity is a character that is genetically governed. Mainly short duration bushy type of plants are nearly synchronous in nature. But apart from breeding I would like to know if there is any means to achieve the near synchronous nature in these plants.
Dr Das I wrote P application but in tab Paul word is taken. I tried for correction but not succeeded.
mutation breeding programme can be taken to achieve this type of character.
Actually I want to know some effect of micronutrient application especially zn etc for synchronisation
