2. Mung bean seedling-raising methods

1. Germination treatment

Before planting, mix and stir the seeds with a resistance agent so that all the seeds are coated with the agent, which can prevent and control pests and diseases. When planting, dig a small hole every 30 to 50 cm and scatter in 3 to 4 seeds. After that, scatter a little compound fertilizer beside the small hole and cover with soil, which helps the seeds germinate. When 4 to 5 leaves have grown, carry out transplanting.

2. Land preparation and fertilization

Generally speaking, before planting mung beans, the seedbed should be prepared in advance, about a week ahead. When turning and loosening the soil, dig deeper, as this can eliminate pests in the soil; after turning, scatter an appropriate amount of base fertilizer, then level the seedbed.

3. Later care

After the seedlings have all survived, weeding should be carried out. Generally, weeding is done three times: once after they survive, the second time when they have grown to 10 to 15 cm, and the last time before they bloom. During the growth process of mung beans, fertilization is generally not needed, because with too much fertility they will grow leaves and then miss the best flowering period, resulting in reduced yield.
