Cultivation of Environment Friendly Moong Dal (Green Gram) in Sundarban
Abstract: Agriculture is the mainstay of livelihood for the community (80%) of Sundarban. With time agriculture practice has been changed. Farmers started boro paddy cultivation depending upon ground water which causes rapid depletion of ground water level. Traditional farming of moong dal (green gram) not only conserve water (151 ha.cm) but enhance the nitrogen content of soil (fix between 58-109 kg of atmospheric nitrogen per hectare).
Keywords: Moong dal (green gram), boro paddy, water conservation, nitrogen fixing
