Abstract:
Mungbean is India's most important leguminous crop. Since, there is not a lot of genetic diversity, India needs to focus more on research to develop better cultivars to increase productivity. During Late kharif 2020-21, a trial was done on 39 Mungbean genotypes to look at their genetic parameters for yield and the traits that go along with them. All of the genotypes were planted three times using a Randomised Block Design (RBD). Quantitative traits were recorded, and various genetic parameters such as PCV, GCV, heritability_(bs), and genetic advance were calculated, based on the observations made. ANOVA analysis indicated that most of the genotypes exhibited significant variations for every trait. The highest GCV and PCV was found to be biological yield plant^-1 (gm), number of effective pods plant^­1, total number of pods plant^-1 and number of pods cluster^-1, number of primary branches plant^-1 as well as pod length (cm). The heritability was recorded high for total number of pods plant^-1, number of pods cluster^-1, harvest index (%), number of effective pods plant^­1, pod length (cm), biological yield plant^-1 (gm), number of seeds pod^-1, days to pod initiation, 100-seed weight (gm), seed yield plant^-1 (gm), number of primary branches plant^-1, number of clusters plant^-1, plant height (cm) and days to 50% flowering. The character’s days to maturity as well as days to flower initiation revealed medium genetic advance. The traits such as biological yield plant^-1 (gm), number of effective pods plant^­1, total number of pods plant^-1, number of pods cluster^-1, number of primary branches plant^-1, pod length (cm), harvest index (%), number of seeds pod^-1, seed yield per plant (gm), number of clusters plant^-1 and 100-seed weight (gm) showed high heritability_(bs) and a significant genetic advance as a percentage of the mean.
