Is that because soy has been engineered that way and mung beans have not? I pose the question because I remember my grand uncle who has been a soy farmer his whole life telling me that when they switched to Monsanto seeds they got some huge multiple of crop yield, 3x? 4x? I can’t remember the exact multiple I just remember it seeming like a lot.
- jcampbell1 6y agoGenerally when people refer to Monsanto seeds, they mean Roundup ready soy. The glyphosate resistant gene actually reduces yield by 5%. The upside is you either have huge labor savings from not having to deal with weeds manually, or you get yield increases compared to co-cropping with weeds.
