Abstract

Mungbean is one of the most important pulse crops, grown from the tropical to sub-tropical areas around the world. In Ethiopia, almost half of the land mass lies with in warmer and lowland areas, with ample water resources and exploited less due to the major focus of crops production on mid to highland areas of the country receiving ample annual rainfall. In order to test the adaptability of mungbean in the lowland irrigated areas of Ethiopia, the current study was conducted at Werer research center, with the objectives to identify, select and recommend adaptable, high yielding and tolerant mungbean varieties, for irrigation production system in the lowland areas of middle awash rift valley, and at the same time assessing suitability of the area for Vigna radiate production. Five mungbean varieties were used in the study for two consecutive seasons (2019 and 2020). Result from the ANOVA revealed that, significant varietal differences were observed for all of the studied parameters in both seasons, except for grain filling period in the first season. The varieties Chinese, Showa-Robit and NVL-1 flowered and matured early at both growing seasons among the tested mungbean varieties. Grain yield was positively and significantly correlated with number of pods plant^-1, number of seeds pod^-1 and biomass weight, and negatively correlated with phonological characters. The maximum grain yield coupled with better number of pods plant^-1 and seeds pod^-1 was noted for the varieties N-26 and NVL-1 in the first season and Chinese and NVL-1 in the second season. Generally, mungbean varieties tested for their adaptation under this Great Rift Valley region having warmer air condition respond well and thus the area can be characterized as suitable for production of mungbean using irrigation water.
