Mungbean Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek Varieties Evaluation Trial Based on Some Selected Physiological Growth Parameters at Hawassa Ethiopia

Demelash Bassa Belayneh

The experiment was conducted at the experimental site of Hawassa University College of Agriculture in the year 2019 cropping season. The experiment aimed to familiarize researchers with how to collect and measure primary data for growth analysis of Mungbean and how to analyze those growth characteristics using the primary values. Then; using those primary values, to see the performance of Mungbean cultivars based on selected physiological growth parameters. The experiment was laid down by using RCBD with three replications with the experiment field length and width of 7m and 7m respectively. The experimental area plot width, length, and distance between the plot and block were 2m, 2m, 0.5m, and 0.5m respectively. The treatments were MH-97-6, Goffa Local, and Sunaina Mungbean varieties. Data such as Days to 50% emergence, Leaf area (cm2), Stem and leaf dry weight (g), and Biomass (g) were collected. These parameters were the basis to analyze growth parameters such as LAI, LWR, SLA, LAR, NAR, RGR, and CGR. All these growth parameters were analyzed and the ANOVA of the above-ground biomass showed a significant difference (P<0.05) among the three mung bean varieties in the tested location. The mean biomass kgha-1 value of the treatments was 695.5833, 569.625, and 767.08 for Sunaina, MH-97-6, and Goffa-L respectively. Accordingly, Goffa-L showed better biomass as compared to the other two varieties of Mungbean. This study needs to be repeated across locations and over years to exploit the environment, variety, and interactions.
