Abstract

The experiment was conducted in Ege University, Faculty of Agriculture, Menemen Research, Application and
Production Center during the years 2003 and 2004 to evaluate mung bean (variety ML- as a green manure
under Randomized Complete Block Design considering three sowing times as three treatments in three
replications. In this study, it was observed that the legume has a high biomass (2915 to 4405 kg/da) and grain
yield (180 to 240 kg/da) in conditions of Aegean area. A short vegetation duration (60 to 75 days) was also
recorded with high values of organic matter (70%), narrow C:N ratio (10) along with higher content of micro
and macro elements. In this perspective, it was understood that mung bean is a convenient legume crop as
green manure in Aegean conditions during summer.
