Abstract

In order to ascertain the effect of phenology and dry matter distribution in different plant parts on seed yield of mungbean under late seeding condition, sixteen mungbean genotypes were planted during 2nd week of September and phemology dry matter buildup and its distribution amongst plant parts were studied. With correlation and path analysis it was concluded that mungbean yield under late seeding condition is highly influenced by seed filling period and dry matter allocation in leaves during flowering as well at maturity.
