As the wheat harvesting season draws to a close, farmers across the region are turning their attention to the cultivation of moong in their now vacant fields. Moong, also known as green gram, not only fetches a good price in the market but also revitalizes the soil, ensuring its fertility for future crops. Sensible farmers often choose to sow pulses like moong after wheat to maintain the nutrient balance in their fields.

In the farming calendar, the transitional period between the Rabi and Kharif seasons is known as Zaid. Crops sown during this period are called Zaid crops. It's an opportune time for moong cultivation, promising lucrative returns for farmers, especially those with irrigation facilities.
Here are five high-yielding varieties of moong that farmers can consider for a successful Zaid season:
Preparing the field for moong cultivation involves crucial steps for optimal growth. Initially, the soil is leveled using plows, with Aldrin 5% powder added if termites are present. Zaid Moong seeds, treated with Carbendazim and Thairam, are then sown at 25 to 30 kg per hectare, after inoculation with Rhizobium culture. Fertilizers like 8 kg Nitrogen, 20 kg Phosphorus, 8 kg Potash, and 8 kg Sulfur per acre are applied. Regular monitoring for pests, diseases, and nutrient deficiencies ensures healthy growth. With proper care, farmers can expect a successful harvest during the Zaid season.

With varieties like Pant Moong 1, Mohini, Pant Moong 3, Pusa Vaisakhi, and Krishna 11, farmers can optimize yields and bolster both economic prosperity and soil fertility.
