A field experiment was conducted during rabi seson 1998-99 with split plot design with irrigation and no irrigation as main plots and blackgram genotypes (LBG-623, LBG-20, WBG-26, T9, MBG-207 and MBG-201) as sub plots to study the influence of receding soil moisture on morphological parameters of blackgram genotypes. Results indicated that, under receding soil moisture conditions blackgram genotypes exhibited reduction in morphological parameters like plant height, No. of leaves, leaf area, leaf area index, total plant dry matter due to which considerable yield reduction was observed. Among all the genotypes LBG-20 showed less reduction under moisture stress conditions and showed its genetic superiority.
