Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Morpho-physiological studies in greengram (Vigna radiata L.) genotypes” was carried out at Sorghum Research Station Farm, VNMKV, Parbhani during Kharif 2021-22. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications and 15 genotypes of mungbean.
Among 15 genotypes, the genotypes BM-21-1, AKM-1606, BPMR-145 and PhuleM-402-2-1 recorded highest plant height, number of leaves per plant, fresh weight as well as dry weight, primary and secondary branches, leaf area, leaf area index, leaf area duration, total chlorophyll and root and shoot biomass and that’s why these genotypes were found better in relation to yield than other genotypes.
BM-21-1 recorded significantly highest number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight, seed yield (g/plant), biological yield (g/plant) and final plant stand.
The genotype AKM-1606 recorded the highest LAI and significantly minimum days for 50% flowering. The genotype, Phule chetak recorded significantly the highest number of days for physiological maturity.
The genotype BM-21-1 showed better performance regarding days to maturity and completed physiological maturity earlier than rest of the genotypes and recorded highest yield as compared to other genotypes.
The genotypes BM-21-1, AKM-1606 and AKM-1609 exhibited overall better performance over the other varieties with respect to growth attributes, yield contributing characters and yield in the given environment. This variety needs to be tested further in future for confirmation.
