The main cultivation methods of mung beans include monocropping and intercropping.

(1) Monoculture: including single cropping, rotation and multiple cropping. Mung beans have a short growth period and are highly resistant to stress. In some areas where the growing season is short or the sowing of other crops is delayed due to natural disasters, a single crop of mung beans can still achieve a certain yield. In recent years, mung beans have been mostly rotated with cereal crops, or planted in gaps between the growth of wheat and other crops, implementing multiple crops in one field to increase the multiple cropping index. Currently commonly used planting methods include wheat-mung beans, rice-mung beans, rapeseed-mung beans, spring corn-mung beans, watermelon-mung beans, etc.

(2) Intercropping: including intercropping, intercropping and hybridization. Mung beans have the characteristics of short plants, insensitivity to light, and relatively tolerant of shade. They can be intercropped or mixed with tall-stem and slower-growing crops in the early stages. This will not only yield one more mung bean crop, but also increase the yield of the main crop. Commonly used planting methods include mung bean-corn (sorghum), mung bean-millet, mung bean-sweet potato, mung bean-cotton, mung bean-yellow tobacco, mung bean-young fruit trees, etc.
