What factors can affect the quality of mung beans?

According to the Department: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of the Republic of South Africa, 2010, the following are the factors affecting the quality of Mung beans:

• Fertilization
  

Mung beans have phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur requirements, which must be met by fertilizer additions if the soil is deficient in these elements.

• Irrigation
  

Mung beans are sensitive to water-logging, laser-leveled fields with a relatively steep position are preferred.

• Weed control
  

Weed control in mung beans is required that the presence of weed seed in a seed lot will result in the seed being downgraded to a lower quality. Black nightshade, hairy nightshade, yellow nutsedge, and annual summer grasses are the major weeds that can create harvest and quality mung bean problems.

• Pest control
  

To achieve high seed quality, pest control is essential.
