The combining ability analysis of 24 F,'s in mungbean between four lines and six testers along with their parents revealed significant non-additive gene action for almost all morpho- physiological traits except 100-seed weight as variances due to specific combining ability (SCA) were higher than the general combining ability (GCA) variances. The parent VC 3760-88 was the best general combiner for yield/plant, pods/plant, pods/ cluster and clusters/plant. SML 668 x VC 3760-88 had the highest SCA values for grain yield/plant, clusters/plant, pods/ cluster, pods/plant and seeds/pod along with their high per se performance.
