Abstract

In order to select great cultivars to grow in rice paddy fields in the southern region on spring season, growth, seed yield and organic components, and germination characteristics were investigated for four mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) cultivars (‘Areum’, ‘Dado, ‘Dahyun’, and ‘Sanpo’). The flowering time was about 55 days after sowing. Harvesting time was 84 days after sowing for ‘Areum’ and ‘Dado’, and 98 days after sowing for ‘Dahyun’ and ‘Sanpo’. Mungbean cultivation in the paddy field improved the physical and chemical properties of paddy soil, that is, it increased the air phase, resulting in the porosity increase and the bulk density decrease, and increased the contents of the soil organic matter and the exchangeable cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+) slightly. Seed yield was high above 247 ㎏/10a in all three cultivars except ‘Dahyun’. Furthermore ‘Dado’ and ‘Sanpo’ are more resistant than ‘Areum’ and ‘Dahyeon’ to lodging caused by rain and/or wind. The proximate composition of the seeds are great in the order of carbohydrate > protein > moisture > ash > crude fat, and carbohydrates accounted for more than 50% of all four cultivars. The seed germination rate and vegetable sprout yield were the highest in ‘Dado’, but slightly low in ‘Sanpo’. Based on these results, mungbean cultivation in paddy fields improves the physical and chemical properties of the soil, and ‘Dado’ and ‘Sanpo’ are resistant to lodging and have high seed yields. Therefore, ‘Dado’ and ‘Sanpo’ seem to be favorable for cultivation in rice paddies in the southern region. Furthermore, ‘Dado’ could be used for producing vegetable sprouts due to its seed germination rate and sprout yield, and ‘Sanpo’ seems to be applied to the food industry by utilizing seeds themselves, or by processing them into powder due to its low germination yield and high hard-coated seed rate.
