The purpose of this experiment consisting of 10 promising mungbean germplasm was to document agronomic as well as morphological characters for identification and selection for desirable traits. These germplasm were originally collected from FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) and neglected pockets of NWFP and planted at the Research Farm of NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar on April 23, 1997. Each germplasm was given a specific number designating the area, the crop and serial number. Days to emergence, first flowering, pod initiation and maturity varied from 4.7 to 6.7, 36.7 to 46, 40.3 to 70 and 54.7 to 85.3, respectively. Plant height (cm), branches per plant and pods per plant varied from 64 to 101, 5 to 8.7 and 50.3 to 121.7, respectively. Similarly, seeds per pod, pod length (cm) and 100-seed weight (g) varied from 9 to 11, 7.1 to 8.3 and 2.72 to 5.79, respectively. Grain yield kg ha-1 ranged between 250.3 and 442, dry matter yield kg ha-1 between 1945 and 8889, grain yield kg ha-1 day between 3.10. and 6.45, dry matter yield. kg ha-1 day-1. 33.8 and 114.6, and harvest index between 5.01 and 13.35%. Germplasm SW.MB.11 ranked first by producing maximum yield of 442 kg ha-1, while the second best was MN.MB.2 (436.3 kg ha-1). The minimum yield (250.3 kg ha-1) was recorded for DR.MB.7, followed by MN.MB.1 (256.3 kg ha-1). Three germplasm ranged between 250.3 and 270.7, 5 between 300 and 355, while 2 between 436.3 and 442 kg ha-1. The relationship of grain field with yield components was not very well established.
