Abstract

The present study consists of 21 mungbean genotypes that were evaluated Kharif 2010-11 to study and 11 yield associated traits. The analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences (p<0.05) indicating the existence of genetic variability among the 21 genotypes for all the traits studied. Among all the characters studied, 100-seed weight showed positive and significant correlation with seed yield per plant. Correlation results indicated that number of pods/plant and grain yield were highly significantly and positively correlated with each other. This strong relationship between these two characters revealed that pod number is most important component and directly proportional to crop yield. Increase in number of pods per plant will also increase the grain yield and vice versa. Plant height exhibited negative significant correlation with days to maturity but number of primary branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant and pod length registered positive non-significant correlation, while number of seeds per pod, seed index and seed yield per plant registered negative non-significant correlation.
