A field study was undertaken in Raichur district Karnataka state with the objective to use the paddy fallow to grow Mung bean under Rice based Cropping System to improve soil fertility and to get additional income during Rabi 2014 and 2015. The data revealed that amongst 03 varieties under study Mung bean cultivar SML 668 recorded significantly higher grain yield (379,88 Kg & 355.7 kg/ha) in second year (16.03 %) and first year (13.69 %) respectively compared to PDM 139 and BGS 9. However, there was no significant grain yield difference was noticed in PDM 139 and BGS 9 in first year as well as second year of the study. Paddy yield increased by 3.50 % at the end of the second year study with normal cultivation practices.
