Agromorphological Evaluation of 44 lines of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) Introduced in Burkina Faso

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is an important annual legume which well suited to dry areas, like Burkina Faso where it still orphan legume. The present study was conducted evaluate 44 mung genotypes introduced in and determine genetic diversity this collection using both quantitative qualitative traits. A field experiment augmented bloc design with three blocks extraearly maturing cowpea variety as check. Data were recorded on six (06) traits seven (07) For traits, revealed four parameters including hypocotyl’s color, seed coat pods stem pubescence. Significant variability among for all the characters. Phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) higher than Genotypic (GCV) characters studied indicating influence environmental effect GCV PCV estimates high number per plant followed by height hundred seeds weigh. heritability coupled advanced percent mean observed these suggest gain improvement grouped into five clusters. Mungbean lines clusters used check crop trial clustered apart. This gbiodiversityenetic diversity, qualitatively quantitatively, will help enrich local terms legumes general particular constitutes basis a future mungbean breeding program.
