Mung Bean inoculant program (Vigna radiata)
A fast-maturing pulse, often ready in ~60–70 days, prized for rotations and as a protein-rich food across Asia.
The challenge
Its short cycle leaves little time to build nitrogen, so early, vigorous nodulation is decisive; weak establishment wastes the crop’s fixation window.
60–70 days — the entire window mung bean has to nodulate and fix — miss the early start and the chance is gone.
A quick pulse that earns its slot
Often ready in 60–70 days, mung bean squeezes a protein harvest and a nitrogen boost into short rotation windows across Asia.
The clock is the constraint
Its short cycle leaves little time to build nitrogen, so nodulation has to be early and vigorous — or the fixation window closes before it opens.
A weak start wastes the crop
Patchy or slow establishment means thin nodulation and a lost chance to fix, on a crop whose whole value is speed.
The program
- Nodu™ MB — delivers vigorous early nodulation matched to the short cycle
- Vigor™ — strengthens roots and uniform stands
- Orvan™ — couples nitrogen fixation with biocontrol
Field-proven
Across 54 sites in 5 provinces (Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Henan; 2021–2024): +15.3% average yield, up to 4.8× more nodules, nitrogenase up to 4.5×, and up to 55 kg N/ha fixed within a 60–70-day cycle, from vigorous early nodulation.
Rhizobial fit
Mung bean shares the cowpea-miscellany Bradyrhizobium group with cowpea and black gram. Nodu™ MB delivers a fast-nodulating, region-matched strain to fit the crop’s short ~60–70-day window; Orvan™ amplifies it.
By product
- Orvan™ (Orvan™ Mungbean): +15.3% yield, up to 4.8× more nodules; 54 sites / 5 provinces. Nitrogen-fixation potentiation.
- Nodu™ (Nodu™ MB, Bradyrhizobium (Vigna group)): +9.3% · 28 sites; Up to 55 kg N/ha within a 60–70-day cycle.
- Vigor™ (PGPR): +7.8% · 24 sites.
How to use
At sowing: Nodu™ MB 3–5 g/kg seed; Orvan™ Seed/Coat; prioritize fast, even establishment.
