The present investigation was carried out to study the seed development and maturation in mungbean variety 'IPM 02- 3' to quantify the precise stage of harvesting at which its maximum yield along with highest viability, vigour and germination could be achieved. It was observed that the seed development and maturation were completed within 17-21 days from anthesis depending on the season. The spring season was more suitable for production of quality mungbean seed in comparison to rainy and summer. The seed obtained at either around 20 per cent seed moisture content or 19 days after anthesis showed highest seed weight along with highest germination, seedling length, vigour index and field emergence. Thereafter, ageing was noticed which led to decline in germination, vigour and field emergence. These findings could be utilized in quality seed production of mungbean.
