Abstract

In middle Gujarat, Mungbam Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) disease was a major destructive disease observed in summer season and it serious and open spread ultimately heavy loss in yield. A new high yielding MYMV resistant Mungbean variety GAM 8 is developed through pedigree method of cross between Meha × GM 4 at RRS, AAU, Anand and tested as ANDGG 1301 in trial and was tested 20 times in different trials. ANDGG 1301 recorded average yield over seasons and locations is 1106 kg/ha which is 46.4, 6.5, 18.9 and 14.3 per cent yield increase over the check varieties viz., GM 4, Meha, GAM 5 & GM 6, respectively in state trials. It was recorded 1171 kg/ha seed yield which was 46.4, 6.5, 18.9 and 14.3 per cent higher over GM 4, Meha, GAM 5 & GM 6, respectively under middle Gujarat trials. The proposed genotype ANDGG 1301 has semi erect plant type, medium maturity, more branches and pod, dark green leaf with purple vein, medium-sized, shining green seeds. It has high protein content and resistant to MYMV, LCV (%), anthracnose and powdery mildew disease. This variety is notified for Gujarat with notification number SO.4065E dated 31-8-2012.
