Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek) is an important legume crop cultivated in the cereal-based farming systems in Asia, Sub Saharan Africa and Australia. Short crop duration, low input requirements and high global demand make mungbean an ideal rotation crop for small holder farmers. It generates a triple benefit: additional income, additional nutrient-rich food and increased soil fertility by nitrogen fixation (Nair et al., 2020). Mungbean is also known as green gram or golden gram or chickasaw or oregon pea or green soy or mash bean and choup suey bean, which is originated from South-East Asia (Vavilov, 1926). Vigna radiata var. sublobata is the probable progenitor of mungbean (Singh et al. 2015). This self-pollinated crop which is botanically recognized as Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek is a diploid species with chromosome number 2n=2x=22 (Karpechenko, 1925) belongs to family Leguminosae (Fabaceae), sub-family Papilionaceae. It is a short duration, deep rooted legume crop with high water use efficiency.EnglishGenetic Variability and Inter- Relationship for Yield and Yield Related Traits in Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.)
