ABSTRACT

Thirty six genotypes of mungbean were studied for genetic variability of seed yield and its contributing characters. High magnitude of variability was observed for the characters pods/plant, grain yield/plant while moderate variability was recorded for pods/cluster, clusters/plant, plant height and days to 50% flowering suggesting the possibility of their improvement by selection. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for pods/plant, grain yield/plant, pods/cluster, clusters/plant, plant height and days to 50% flowering while high heritability and moderate genetic advance as per cent of mean was recorded for seeds/pod, 100-seed weight and days to maturity suggesting that these traits were controlled by additive gene action hence, selection may be effective.
