Mungbean. Proceedings of the International Symposium (2nd). Held in Bangkok, Thailand on November 16-20, 1987

摘要

A short-duration legume with easily digestible protein, the mungbean has enjoyed a production growth rate in Asia over the past decade that has been unequaled by any other pulse crop. These proceedings of the second international mungbean symposium, held in Thailand, a key mungbean producer, user, and exporter, contain the texts of 83 papers organized into seven sections: the origin, evolution, and taxonomy of the mungbean, as well as mungbean genetic resources; plant breeding programs, progress in breeding mungbeans, breeding methodologies, and wide hybridization; physiological aspects of mungbeans; plant protection; crop management; the economics, marketing, and utilization of mungbeans (various mungbean recipes from around the world are included); 19 regional/country status reports on mungbean problems, research progress, marketing, and future research thrusts. Includes summaries of workshop discussions on the major topics, strategies and recommendations for future research, and author and subject indexes.
