Mothbean Production: Dr. M M Sharma Moth Breeder SK Rau, Bikaner

This document discusses moth bean production in India. Some key points: - Moth bean is an important crop for Rajasthan, accounting for 85% of the area and 58% of production in India. It is drought tolerant and can be grown in adverse climatic conditions. - Varieties recommended for cultivation include RMO 225, RMO 435, and RMO 423, which offer early maturity, drought tolerance, and high seed and fodder yields. - Proper agronomic practices like seed treatment, population establishment, fertilizer application, weed control and plant protection measures are necessary to achieve good moth bean yields.

MOTH BEAN PRODUCTION

85% AREA & 58% PRODUCTION- RAJASTHAN

FAST GROWING DEEP ROOT SYSTEM CAN BE


CULTIVATED IN ADVERSE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

LOW FAT (0.7%) RICH PROTEIN (22-24%) SOURCE


MANAGEMENT STEPS FOR GOOD CROP

MOTHBEAN VARIETIES
RMO 225
Early maturity (64-67
days), High seed yield
(6.0-7.5q/ha) as well as

RMO 423

RMO 423

Early maturing (67 days),


escapes terminal drought
Field resistance against YMV,
Distinct resistance against
jassids and white flies
High protein content (26%)
and less cooking time

Best performing varieties


in all agro-climatic zones

RMO-257 and RMO-435

SEED TREATMENT-MOST ECONOMIC AND EFFECTIVE

USE CARBEDEZIM @2.5G/KG SEED


USE RHIZOBIUM CULTURE @600G/ha.
MAKE AVAILABILITY OF EFFECTIVE CULTURE-THROUGH
IMPROVING STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION

PERFECT POPULATION
PROPER SEED RATE 3-4 KG/ha
PROPER SOWING METHOD-LINE SOWING
USE THIOUREA 500PPM SOLUTION SEED SOAKING

APPLY BASIC FERTILIZERS 10Kg N & 20 Kg/P2O5/ha

PROPER PLANT PROTECTION


USE RESISTANT/TOLERANT VARIETIES
SPARY MONOCROTOPHOS 0.04% SOLUTION THRICE
DUSTING OF FENVELRATE 0.4% & METHYL PARATHION 2%

ONE HAND WEEDING & HOEING AT 25-30 DAYS AFTER SOWING


OTHERWISE USE WEEDICIDES PENDIMETHALLIN@0.751.00 Kg ai/ha

SPRAY 500PPM SOLUTION OF THIOUREA AT VEGETATIVE AND


FLOWERING STAGE FOR DROUGHT TOLERENCE.

Intercropping of early maturing moth bean varieties with pearl millet


in 3:1 ratio is more remunerative.
