Abstract :

Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek commonly known as green gram or mungbean, is an important food legume that has low flattulence protein, which makes it indispensable in Indian vegetarian diet. There is a global eed disseminate new bio–fortified varieties rich in iron(Fe) and zinc(Zn) content to fight hidden hunger.Fourty green gram genotypes were raised in three different environments viz., Agricultural College and Research Institute, TNAU, Madurai (Kharif 2012), Agricultural Research Station, TNAU, Vaigai Dam (Kharif 2012), Agricultural College and Research Institute, TNAU, Madurai (Rabi 2012).Four biochemical analysis viz., protein , fat, iron and zinc were carried out.The genotypes viz., K.Pudur2, Co(Gg)7, NM65, NM67, K.Pudur3, 76–47/1, 76–43, Co6, M986, Samrat were stable for seed yield per plant in average environmental condition, whereas K.Pudur 2 was found to be good for high Fe and protein content. Hence these genotypes could be used in further eeding programme.
