Fungal diseases of mung bean as a reciprocal crop in irrigated areas of Uzbekistan

\nPlant diseases pose a significant threat to the cultivation of mung beans, impacting both yield and quality. This is particularly true when mung beans are grown as a successive crop following sorghum cultivation. Mung beans planted in the spring, after a period of winter dormancy, are especially susceptible to diseases compared to those planted in the summer. Our scientific research, conducted across various regions of Uzbekistan, has investigated the key factors contributing to this susceptibility, with a focus on climatic conditions and soil pathogens. Anthracnose, powdery mildew, fusarium root rot, and other fungal diseases are among the primary concerns for mung bean crops grown as successive crops. These diseases can have a significant impact on crop development, leading to reduced yield and quality. Our research has aimed to understand the spread and development of these diseases, as well as the extent of crop damage they cause. Climatic conditions, including temperature, humidity, and rainfall patterns, play a crucial role in the prevalence and severity of diseases in mung bean crops. Additionally, the presence of soil pathogens can further exacerbate disease pressure, particularly in areas where mung beans are grown as successive crops. By studying the interactions between these factors and disease development, our research aims to identify effective strategies for disease management in mung bean cultivation. This includes the development of resistant varieties, implementation of crop rotation practices, and use of fungicides when necessary.\n
