Abstract

Mungbean, contains 25.0 per cent proteins with all essential amino acids,
which is almost three times more than that of cereals. High nutritional value, they have
restored soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation.
The experimental material comprised of six females, four male parents and their
24 F 1 s developed by crossing Line x Tester mating design.These 24 F 1 hybrids along with
10 parents and three checks were evaluated in a randomized block design with three
replications during Kharif 2023at the Field Experimentation Centre, Genetics and Plant
Breeding research farm, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and
Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya.
The estimates of variances due to general combining ability were higher than
The specific combining ability for all the traits except secondary branches per plant, clusters
per plant, pods per cluster, pods per plant, and seeds per pod pointed out to be the
preponderance of non-additive gene effects in the expression of these characters. Parents
HUM 16,VGG 20153 and IPM 02-3 can be considered as a good source of favourable
genes for increasing seed yield along with other yield attributes. MML 2552 x IPM 02-3,
HUM 16 x VGG 20153, HUM 16 x MH 1142, IPM 1707-1 x IPM 02-3 and TRM 230 x
MH 1142. 139 expressed high significant and sca effects as well as high per se performance
for seed yield per plant and other traits. HUM 16 x VGG 20153 involved high x high type
of general combiners could be due to additive type of gene actions that are fixable in
nature, may be exploited further using pedigree method of breeding for the development
of pure lines.
