| dc.description | The mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is an important pulse crop, grown
principally for its protein-rich edible seeds. It has many common names viz.
mung, moong, mungo, green gram, golden gram, chickasaw pea, oregon pea etc
(John, 1991). Pulses are important world food crops because they provide as
inexpensive source of vegetable dietary protein. In many densely populated
areas of the world, the economy does not support large-scale production and
utilization of animal protein. In those areas, the protein in people’s diets may be
augmented by supplementating with protein rich pulse grains. In addition to
being less expensive than animal protein, pulse grains provide a source of rich
protein for those people who prefer vegetable to animal protein in their diets for
cultural or religious reasons. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The present experiment was conducted with 29 summer genotypes of mungbean at the
experimental field of Genetic and Plant Breeding Department, HSTU, Dinajpur during
March to June 2006 to study variability, heritability, genetic advance, interrelationship
and path coefficient among 11 important characters. Significant variations were
observed among the 29 mungbean genotypes for all characters except primary
branches. BD6936 for early flowering (34.33days) and early maturing (74.00days);
BD6902, BD6903, BD6920 and BD6912 for plant height (79.93cm); BD6876 and
BD6894 for clusters/plant (22.83); BD688land BD6933 for pods/cluster (4.93);
BD6876 for pods/plant (79.47); BD6933 for pod length (11.94cm), seeds/pod (12.87);
BD6874, BD6884, and BD6899 for seed yield/plant (41.51g); and BD6935 for 1000-
seed weight (74.32g) were found to be superior genotypes. Including seed yield, all
characters except primary branches/plant, pods/cluster, seeds/pod exhibited high
heritability accompanied by medium to high genetic advance as percent of mean.
Significant genotypic correlation coefficients were found to be higher than their
corresponding phenotypic ones. Clusters/plant, pods/plant, pods/cluster, pod length,
seeds/pod and 1000-seed weight showed significant and positive relationships with
seed yield/plant. Path coefficient analysis suggested that clusters/plant, pods/plant, and
1000-seed weight contributed maximum to seed yield having positive direct effect.
Thus, selection based on pods/plant, clusters/plant and 1000-seed weight might be
effective for improving seed yield in summer mungbean. | en_US |
