Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at vegetable block, College of Horticulture, Anantharajupeta, Andhra Pradesh during 2019 to evaluate the elite mutant lines of the gamma irradiated population of the field bean variety TFB-2 in M₂ generation. Among all the mutant lines of M₂ generation, M2.1 recorded shorter plants whereas the mutant line M2.31 was found to be showing more branches. Mutant lines M2.10, M2.15 and M2.21 reported earliness. The better performance for pod length and seeds per pod were recorded by the mutant lines M2.2 and M2.6, respectively. The mutant line M2.24 was observed to be top performer for pod yield per plant.
