EVALUATION OF SELECTED GERMPLASM OF MUNGBEAN (VIGNA-RADIATA(L) WILCZEK)
GHAFOOR A; ZUBAIR M; MALIK BA; et al.
Abstract:
One hundred and twelve mungbean genotypes selected from a broad based
local as well as exotic germplasm during last three years, were
evaluated for agronomic characters and incidence of yellow mosaic and
leaf crinkle virus under natural infection conditions. Twenty eight
genotypes were found to be superior on the basis of yield potential and
resistance/tolerance to YMV and LCV. A high yielding line (NCM 201)
showed resistance to both viral diseases. Maximum CV was observed for
pods per plant, biological yield per plant and grain yield per plant
indicating greater scope of selection for these traits. A strong
correlation of yield was observed with pods per plant and biological
yield per plant. Large scale testing of selected lines and their
utilization in breeding programme would be of great use in mungbean
improvement.
