Abstract
Eighteen varietal trials accommodating eight varieties and ninety technology demonstrations of mung bean were conducted under rainfed as well as irrigated situations at farmer’s fields during kharif-2015 in six districts of western Rajasthan viz. Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Churu, Jhunjhunu, Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar. The mean seed yield of mung bean varieties ranged between 292 to 515 kg ha-1 under rainfed and 591 to 885 kg ha-1 under irrigated situation. Among varieties, the maximum seed yield of 737 kg ha-1 was produced by GM-4 followed by MH-421, SML-668, RMG-492 and IPM 02-3 with 691, 635, 634 and 618 kg ha-1, respectively. Under technology demonstrations, seed yield of mung bean under rainfed situation varies 250 to 630 kg ha-1 with mean yield of 409 kg ha-1. However, the seed yield under irrigated situation varied from 435 to 1635 kg ha-1 with mean of 981 kg ha-1. The overall productivity of the mung bean demonstrations was found 38.4% higher over average productivity of the RajasthanDownloads
