Abstract:
Mungbean is the most important pulse crop after chickpea and pigeon pea. The present experiment was conducted at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Bharuch Campus during kharif 2021. The Experimental materials consist of 19 genotypes of mungbean representing different geographical origins. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications for various traits to assess the genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in mungbean. The analysis of variance revealed a highly significant difference for all the eleven characters. Higher heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent mean is observed for seed yield per plant, branches per plant and pods per cluster. This confirms higher additive gene action and thus improvement could be brought about by direct phenotypic selection over the genotypes.
