BRSMG Camaleão: new mungbean cultivar with large, shiny, green seeds

Abstract

BRSMG Camaleão' is a mungbean cultivar with large, shiny, green seeds released for the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. It was developed by the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center as line VC 6148-B-16. In seven trials established in the Zona da Mata region, it had an average yield of 1493 kg ha -1 and 1000-seed weight of 68-78 g.

IAC VR211 and IAC VM211: new high-yielding cultivars of mung bean and black mung bean

“…In comparison with the cultivar IAC VR211, Vieira et al (2022) obtained similar results with the cultivar BRSMG Camaleão. From seven experiments carried out, the cultivar obtained an average yield of 1,493 kg ha -1 .…”

“…In Brazil, mung beans, Vigna radiata L. with grains with green seed coat and Vigna mungo L. with black seed coat, are known for consumption as "bean sprouts" or "moyashi", but they can also be consumed in the form of protein powder as a replacement for meat and starch, as well as used in preparation of a dessert called "sarim" or in "vermicelli", a kind of pasta (Ambrosano et al 2014). This demand for mung bean is a major opportunity for Brazilian farmers to supply the market in India and other markets already served by Australia, such as Japan, the Philippines, the USA, and Europe (Vieira et al 2022). More than half of the area cultivated with mung bean worldwide is located in India SAM Carbonell et al (Kang et al 2014), and its annual production was 2,16 million tons in 2016-2017 (Kumar and Raju 2018) followed by China and Myanmar (Kang et al 2014).…”

“…The grain yield of mung bean observed over the years is a result of improvement in crop management, through the use of inputs and suitable agronomic practices and the use of improved cultivars. In Brazil, some mung bean cultivars have already been released (Vieira et al 2002, Vieira et al 2008, Vieira et al 2022. In 2000, the cultivar 'Ouro Verde MG 2' was released with medium-sized green seeds (around 51 g for 1000-seed weight).…”

Adaptability and stability of mungbean genotypes in the Mid-North of Mato Grosso, Brazil

“…The experiments involved eight environments and 10 mungbean genotypes (lineages) developed in Northeastern Brazil by the Plant Breeding Program of Embrapa Meio-Norte (Teresina, PI, Brazil). In addition, the commercial cultivar BRSMG Camaleão (Vieira et al, 2022) was used as a control (Table 1). The seed teguments of the evaluated genotypes were green except for the yellow seed-coated G6.…”

“…One of the major problems faced by mungbean farmers in Mato Grosso is the limited number of cultivars available. Registered cultivars are recommended for other regions of the country, such as the state of Minas Gerais (Vieira et al, 2002;Vieira et al, 2008;Vieira et al, 2022), but they are not commonly used in Mato Grosso. This, allied to the lack of information on management practices, led to farmers having uneven grains and lower harvest yield than desired.…”
