ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted with twelve Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) genotypes under water stress as well as irrigated conditions at S.V agricultural college, Tirupati. A wide variation was observed among the genotypes in their physio-morphological characters. The genotypes TBG-104, KU-12-13, KU-12-37, LBG-623 recorded significantly higher leaf area, dry matter partitioning under both irrigated as well as stress conditions, which denotes the ability of these genotypes in sustaining the photo synthesizing area and accumulation of photosynthates in stem. Whereas NDU-12-300 recorded lowest total dry matter during rabi 2015-16 and rabi 2016-17.
