To evaluate the performance of mungbean genotypes, an experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm of NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar during summer 2005. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data was collected on number of leaves plant-1, pod length, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, 100-seed weight and seed yield plant-1. Significant variations were observed for all the parameters except number of pods plant-1. Genotype KRK mung-1 produced maximum number of leaves plant-1 and maximum number of seeds per pod-1. Maximum pod length and maximum 100-seeds weight was recorded for genotype NFM 3-3. Mungbean genotypes NM 21 produced maximum seed yield plant-1, followed by NM-92 and KRK mung-1, while FM 3-3 produced minimum seed yield plant-1. This variation may be used for further breeding programmes to develop improved mungbean genotypes, adapted to the climatic condition of Peshawar valley through crossing and selection.
