Abstract: Black gram (Vigna mungo L.) belongs to family Fabaceae sub family papilionaceae, is being grown as one of the principle pulse crops popularly known as Urd bean. In India Urd bean is grown in 3.11 Mha areas with total production of 1.90MT and average productivity is 642 kg/ha. Presently, available varieties of Urd bean generally mature in 85-90 days which forced delay sowing of rabi crops particularly those who are interested to grow Urd for grain purpose. There are certain local cultivars which matured in 65-70 days like Tinpakhia is still being grown by the farmer but the yielding ability is very poor. Hence, to facilitate timely sowing of Rabi there is urgent need to evolve short duration (70-75 days) high yielding Urd varieties best suited to diara land especially as catch crop. Present experiment was conducted at BAC Farm, Bihar Agricultural College Sabour, Bhagalpur during Kharif, 2012 to study the response of thirteen cultivars viz. Pant U-31, Mash-1-1, Mash-114, Mash-338, Utra, IPU-02-43, Shekhar, PU-19, PU-31, IPU-94-1, T9, SU-10-724 and SU-10-726. Significant difference was observed among the entries for yield, 1000 grain weight and maturity. The variety IPU-02-43 produced significantly highest yield (9.44q/ha) and mature in 71.00 day; was significantly superior to the check T9 (4.30q/ha). The promising genotypes were IPU-02-43, Utra, IPU-94-1, PU-19 and SU-10-724 on the basis of their yield performance with 1000 grain weight of 56.93gm, 54.73gm, 54.70gm 51.00gm and 51.30gm respectively. Earliest maturing genotype was IPU-02-43 in 71.00 days with maximum production of 9.44 q/ha. Among different genotype minimum disease incidence was recorded in IPU-02-43 (15.00%) which was followed by Utra (18.90%) as compared to check T9 (60.50%). On the basis of yield, maturity and minimum disease incidence it can be suggested the entries IPU-02-43, Utra, IPU-94-1, PU-19 and SU-10-724 for cultivations in diara land of Bihar.
