ASSESSING SUMMER MUNGBEAN CULTIVATION IN PUNJAB: STATUS, ECONOMICS, AND PERSPECTIVES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
This study assesses the cultivation of summer mungbean in Punjab, focusing on its current status, economic implications, and potential for sustainable development. Summer mungbean cultivation in Punjab holds promise for enhancing agricultural diversity, improving soil health, and increasing farmer incomes. However, challenges such as water scarcity, pest pressure, and market uncertainties hinder its sustainable growth. By analyzing agronomic practices, economic viability, and sustainability considerations, this study provides insights into strategies for promoting sustainable summer mungbean cultivation in Punjab. Integrated approaches, including improved irrigation techniques, pest management strategies, and market linkages, are essential for enhancing the resilience and viability of summer mungbean cultivation in Punjab.
