Performance of mutant greengram (Vigna radiata) genotypes for South eastern Coastal Plain Zone of Orissa

Abstract

The mean square for genotypes was significant for both the years indicating significant variability among the 21 genotypes of greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]. The growing condition was heterogenous due to significant mean squares. Significant Genotype X Year indicated differential response of genotypes to environment. 'OUM 7' and 'QUM 11-5' were found to be promising and suitable mutants for South-eastern Coastal Plain Zone of Orissa in place of 12 standard varieties of greengram during rainy season.
