Agriculture experts advised growers to cultivate approved Moong varieties in March to gain the maximum yield. A spokesperson for the agriculture department on Tuesday said Moong beans are used in cooking, roasting, sprouting and milling. These seeds were used for making soups, curries, noodles, bread and sweets as they were a rich source of potassium, magnesium and fibres, he added. The spokesperson further said that March was the most suitable time for cultivation of Baharia Moong crop to achieve maximum yields. “Therefore, growers should start Moong cultivation with the advent of March and complete it within the month by using approved varieties to earn better profits through increased production. These varieties included NIAB Moong-2006, NIAB Moong-2011, Azri Moong-2006, NIAB Moong-2016, Bahawalpur Moong-2017, Azri Moong-2018, Azri Moong-2021 and NIAB Moong-2021.” Published in The Express Tribune, February 24th, 2021.
