Twenty eight yield trials of 5-12 lines or cultivars of mungbean were conducted at different locations on the east coast in Southern Thailand. The experimental sites included research stations, in paddy field before rice and between rows of young rubber trees. It was found that VC 2768A from AVRDC was the best yielder, averaged over all locations (1,588 kg/ha). It outyielded U-Thong 1, the check variety, by 22 % and Kampaengsaen 1 by 10 %. It has the same seed size as U-thong 1 and was found to be highly resistant to lodging and Cercospora leafspot. The variety was named 'PSU-1' in honor of Prince of Songkla University.
