 ABSTRACT

The effect of irrigation at the vegetative and flowering stages and also continuous irrigation conditions on Seed yield, Biological yield, Harvest Index, Protein, Proline and Chlorophyll Content of five mung bean genotypes (WGG-34, K-851, Samrat, SML-668 and T-44) were investigated Experiment was conducted at the Bundelkhand region Jhansi, during summer session 2010 and 2011. The experiment was set up in randomly block design with three replications. Also, results indicated that, the irrigation at vegetative and flowering stages, decreased the Seed yield, Biological yield, Harvest Index while, increased proline content in five mungbean genotypes. Irrigation at the vegetative stage was more effective than irrigation at the flowering stage on Seed yield, Biological yield and Harvest Index, but Protein content in seed was not influenced by irrigation application. The higher value of total chlorophyll content was recorded when crop irrigated at all the stage  Cultivar SML-668 was less affected which, getting higher profit from summer green gram by applying irrigation at all the stages, gave higher yield under Jhansi region of Uttar Pradesh.

Key words: Vigna radiata, Biological yield, Harvest Index, Seed yield
