Evaluation of mungbean `phaseolous aureus roxb." strains at Columbia, Missouri in 1971

were grown in 1971 at Columbia, MO, and evaluated for plant and seed characteristics. The strains originated from many sources and represented a diverse group of genotypes. All of the strains were grown as received and while some are obvious genetic mixtures, no attempt was made to purify the collections. A representative group of the 1970 strains ranking in the top 5 to 10 percentile classes for earliness, height, branch length, pods per plant, seed per pod, 1,000 seed weight, protein content, lysine content, and methionine content, but not in the top 100 for yield, were included in the 1971 nursery.
