Abstract
Performance evaluation of Mung bean (Vigna radiate) genotypes for agronomic and phenology traits was conducted during 2013-2015 cropping seasons at Guba district, North-West, Ethiopia under rainfall condition with the objective, to test and evaluate the adaptability and performance of eight mung bean genotypes with standard check shoa robit. The agronomic traits evaluated and tested were stand count at initial, days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, stand count at harvest, pods per plant, seeds per pod, hundred seed weight and grain yield per hectare. There was significant difference between treatments at (Pvalue < 0.05 level).The highest grain yield obtained from Black Bean (1416.26 kg/ha) while the lowest grain yield was scored by MBBR-1 (1074.78 kg/ha). Black Bean (27.20) scored the highest pods per plant whereas MB6173-B-33 scored the lowest (10.89); this implied genotype Black Bean was high grain yielder among the tested mung bean genotypes for this study. Correlation among quantitative traits was mostly positive; except days to maturity, and seeds per pod. Based on the performance, at field condition, variation occurred among the tested mung bean genotypes; therefore, the performance evaluation of mung bean genotypes were recommended for further evaluation and demonstration for the study area (Guba district) and similar agro-ecologies.
