Abstract:

Through hierarchical clustering method, 27 genotypes were confined to VII clusters. Cluster I encompasses of three genotype accessions Basanti, TM-99-50, Sublobata-02 and it showed high cluster mean for plant height, days to maturity, number of pods plant-1. Lower plant height was observed in genotypes under Cluster IV, clusters I and clusters V consisted of high plant height. Early maturity genotypes were under cluster V and late maturity genotypes were under cluster I. Cluster IV showed highest mean in protein content and seed yield plant-1 among all clusters. Highest pod width was recorded by cluster VII (0.470) and lowest pod width was recorded in cluster I (0.250). Genotypes in cluster IV and cluster VII (56.321) was found very diverse clusters. High yielding genotypes with high mean value seed weight and protein content was found in cluster IV. With the selection of most diverse plants with high mean performance for many characters cluster analysis can be applied inbreeding program for mung bean improvement.
