Abstract:
The present investigation entitled “Study on genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] in summer season under timely sown condition” were undertaken to work out genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in per cent of mean. These carried out during timely sown condition in summer seasons of 2020 at Genetics and Plant Breeding Research Farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya. The experimental materials comprised of 26 genetically diverse varieties/strains and their 88 crosses. The experimental material was evaluated under summer seasons in timely sown condition. The observations were recorded on ten characters. The high estimates of phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variability were for number of branches per plant, reducing sugar, chlorophyll, pods per plant, grain yield per plant and harvest index character under timely sown condition in summer season. The estimates of heritability in broad sense were high for all the characters, except days to maturity under both conditions in summer season. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance in per cent of mean was not found in any characters.
