Results of the study showed that there were significant differences on the growth and yield - height at maturity, mass weight, number of days to flowering, number of days to green pods, number of days to maturity, number of pods per plant, weight of 100 seeds, number of seeds per pod, number of pods per hill, weight of pods and weight of grain - of two mungo varieties using different plant population densities. MG 50-10A variety showed better results as to final height at maturity, mass weight, number of pods per plant, weight of 100 seeds, weight of pods, and weight of grain yield. Pag-asa 1 variety had a shorter number of days to flower and to produce green pods than MG 50-10A. It had also a shorter maturity period. The yield was poor because of its short pods and small seed size. Its short height may be attributed to its spreading type of growth. MG 50-10A variety was better than Pag-asa 1 because of its high yield which can be attributed to its seed size pod production and grain weight. There were significant differences in plant responses to the different plant population densities. Plant population density of 4 plants produced the tallest plants at maturity, the highest number of pods per hill, and the heaviest grains. Different varieties had significant interaction on the growth, height at maturity, number of seeds per pod, and weight of seed produced. MG 50-10A with plant population of 4 plants per hill gave the highest yield.
