Ames, IA | I think you're a bit too far south for this to be much help, but Iowa State has a professor who made the first crosses for the new mungbean (and urd bean, a related species) breeding program here last year. From what I've heard working in a related lab, most of the work in the US came out of Oklahoma back in like the 60s. Biggest two things we've learned here in Iowa about them is that they don't like wet feet, and that storage conditions are critical (we had a lot of problems with white mold, but it was too wet a year for soy, mung, corn alike).
For what its worth, my granddad grew mungbean back in the 40s round abouts Enid, said they used it for hog feed back then, though. | |
