Abstract
Greengram (Vigna radiata L.) is one of the important pulse crops. It is a
leguminous species grown principally for its protein-rich edible seeds and also has
potential as a green manure and as a forage crop. Crop residues are important feed
resources for ruminants (Reddy et al., 2003). Greengram, also known as mung in
Hindi, is cultivated mostly in developing countries. Low income groups depend on
grain legumes to substitute for the expensive meat and fish products. Greengram is
adapted in multiple cropping systems in the dry and warm climates of tropics and subtropics
due to its rapid growth, short duration and wide adaptability. Being pulse crop
productivity is low as compared to cereal due to more utilization of energy in protein
synthesis as well as sown under low fertile soil.
