Abstract:
This study aims to determine soil moisture content when the mung bean plants experience permanent wilting and assessment of the physiological response of the mung bean plants when not given water. The characteristics analyzed were: soil moisture content, plant witheredness, proline content, plant height, and number of leaves. All evaluated characteristics reachedin the early vegetative phase, mung bean plants do not experience wilting; in the early generative phase, the soil moisture content when the mung bean plant withers is 18.20 %; if the soil moisture content decreases, are higher the proline level, plant height, and number of leaves.
