An experiment was conducted to evaluate the extent of genetic variability in three quantitative traits viz., plant height and days to flowering and maturity in M, and M, generations following mutagenesis with methylmethane sulphonate (MMS) and sodium azide (SA) in mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) var. T 44. Higher genetic variability for various quantitative traits was recorded in M, in comparison to M, generation, indicating that potential gain could be achieved through selection in early generation.
