Abstract:Forty Nine divergent genotypes of mungbean were evaluated to study genetic variability. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits under study. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). The high values of GCV and PCV observed for seed yield per plant.
All the characters studied exhibited high heritability except the number of pods per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean was observed for pod length, (cm). Plant height (cm), seed yield per plant, (g), number of primary branches per plant, which may attribute to the preponderance of additive gene action and possessed high selective value.
