    Development and extension to realise the system benefits and economic potential of mungbean in northern farming systems.
    Grower Feedback has indicated that there are still limitations to achieving reliable mungbean production. While wheat is the main pillar crop, growers understand that a monoculture creates weed and disease issues and therefore requires rotation…
