Abstract:
The present investigation entitled ‘Assessment studies of correlation in seed yield and yield contributing characters in Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)’ was undertaken to study the correlation of yield and yield contributing characters in Mungbean, at Department of Agricultural Botany, College of Agriculture, VNMKV, Parbhani during Kharif 2020 and Kharif 2021. The experiment arranged in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two replications. All 34 treatments had four rows of 4.5 meter long with 45 cm distance in between rows and 10 cm in plants. Morphological and yield contributing characters viz., days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, days to shattering, plant height (cm), number of primary branches per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of pods per plant, length of pod (cm), number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight (g), seed yield per plant (g) were recorded. The seed yield character of the study recorded significant positive correlation with number of pods per plant, primary branches number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight and length of pod (cm). It also observed significant negative correlation with plant height.
