Abstract

These studies were conducted at Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology. Faisalabad during the year 2004, Twenty mungbean lines/varieties were evaluated to exploit yield components to the maximum extent and formulate selection criteria in mungbean. According to the results high heritability coupled with moderate to high genetic advance was observed for plant height (97.00, 23.40), seed yield (R6.00. 32410 harvest index (86.00, 36.78) and 100-sced weight {74100, 17.01). Tt indicates that additive genes mainly control such characters. Clusters per plant (0.47), pods per plant (0.57), pod length (0.30) and 100-seed weight (0.38). showed positive and significant genotypic correlation with seed yield. Clusters per plant (.71}, pods per plant (0.69), pod length (0.45), 100-seed weight (0.48} and seeds per pod (0.77) also had significant phenotypic correlation with seed yield. Plant height ((12), clusters per plant (0.47), pods per plant {0.64), pod length (0.33) and harvest index (0.52) showed positive direct effect on seed yield.
