Why do mung beans need crop rotation to prevent continuous cropping? Please explain the reasons.


Mung beans should not be grown continuously on the same land. Continuous cropping leads to more pests and diseases and poorer quality, and it also suppresses the development of rhizobia due to the proliferation of harmful microorganisms. There is a farming proverb: "Rotate the bean field every year, and the yield will rise every year." At the same time, mung bean is also an important soil-enriching crop and an excellent preceding crop for cereals. Therefore, when planting mung beans, the land should be arranged reasonably and crop rotation should be practiced. It is best to rotate with cereal crops such as corn, sorghum and wheat, generally with an interval of 2 to 3 years.
