Abstract: Forty-four mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] genotypes were studied to assess the genetic variability parameters, heritability, genetic advance, correlation and path coefficient analysis for yield and yield contributing characters. The genotypes differed significantly for all twelve characters studied. High GCV and PCV observed for primary branches per plant, pods per plant, seed yield per plant and clusters per plant. High heritability along with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for plant height, primary branches per plant, clusters per plant, pods per plant and seed yield indicating preponderance of additive gene action. The characters, clusters per plant and pods per plant showed positive and high significant correlation with seed yield per plant. Among the characters studied, days to 50% flowering had high positive direct effect on seed yield per plant while, test weight, clusters per plant, pods per plant and primary branches per plant had low positive direct effect on seed yield per plant. Therefore, more emphasis should be given on these characters while selection for high yielding mung bean cultivar.
