Mung Beans. (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is economically most important crop of Vigna group. It is also
known as green gram, golden gram, moong, Chickasaw, Oregon pea, and chop suey bean moand this
legumes have a strategic position in Southeast Asian countries for nutritional security and sustainable
crop production. A seed of mungbean is highly nutritious containing protein, fat, fibre, ash and 59–65%
carbohydrates on dry weight basis. Mung beans is a promising plant species for crop intensification and
diversification due to its short lifespan, photo-thermo insensitivity, and low input demand. As a legume
crop, mungbean associates with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and improves soil fertility, lowering the need
for nitrogen fertilizers and increasing yield and quality of subsequent cereal harvests. (Suhel Mehandi,
2019).
Rice Water. Rice water, contains starches and beneficial nutrients. The starches in rice water also
provide the plant with carbohydrates that can be stored in the plant’s cell membrane until they can be
used for energy while at the same time promoting helpful bacteria such as lactobacilli and mycorrhizae
that can already be found to pre-exist in the soil, to thrive by providing a source of food. It is a liquid
derived from rice and has been used for various purposes. It has been found to have potential benefits
in skincare products, make beverages, including a colorless transparent liquid beverage obtained
through steaming, fermentation, and filtration of glutinous rice. Furthermore, rice water has been
studied in the context of water management in agriculture, particularly in rice production. (Zhalimar
