Abstract

Two hundred germplasm lines, along with six commercial varieties of mungbean were evaluated over four diverse environments for seed yield and its components. The genotypes were grouped into seven clusters. Genetic diversity was found to be unrelated to geographical diversity. On the basis of this analysis, genetically diverse genotypes with desirable level of particular characters have been identified and crossing programme has been suggested.
