Abstract:
An experiment was conducted with 106 diverse mungbean genotypes during Kharif 2021 to assess the variation spectrum for yield traits and to realize the associations among them at the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana.The result of genetic parameters revealed that trait namely, the number of branches /plant showed high genotypic (GCV) and phenotypic coefficients of variations (PCV). High heritability coupled with high genetic advance was found for the traits viz., plant height, number of branches/plant and clusters/plant, number of seeds/pod, biological yield, harvest index, 100-seed weight, and seed yield /plant indicated additive gene effects. Character association revealed significant positive association of seed yield with the number of clusters, pods/plant, harvest index, number of seeds/pod, biological yield/plant and 100-seed weight. Based on yield and other morphological traits studied, the genotypes ML 1628, ML 2037, SML 1023, MH 521, MH 560, MH 565, IPM 312-394, IPM 410-3 and EC 581523 were found superior and exhibited sufficient diversity and can be utilized for future mungbean improvement programs.
