The effect of sowing dates and the liquid organic fertilizer «Potex» on development stages and growing period of mung bean cultivars

Abstract

Field observations conducted in 2022 were used to assess the effects of two sowing periods and the liquid organic fertilizer Potex on phenological development of the mungbean cultivars Durdona and Hosildor grown as a second crop. Growth stages and vegetation duration were compared across 24 treatment combinations. The growing period ranged from 70 to 76 days for Durdona and from 83 to 90 days for Hosildor. Delayed sowing extended it by 3–4 days, while fertilizer applications added 1–3 days. These findings support cultivar-specific selection of sowing dates.
