Description of traits measured in field evaluation of mungbean genotypes.
| | Trait | Code | Description | Stage of observation |
| | Days to 50% flowering | DFF | Number of days from planting to when at least 50% of the plants in a plot have at least one unopened flower | Flowering | | Plant height (cm) | PH | Recorded on 5 randomly sampled plants per plot | Physiological maturity | | Days to maturity | DM | Days from sowing to when 90% of pods in a plot change colour (to black or brown) | Physiological maturity | | Pods per plant | NP | Mean number of pods from 5 random plants per plot | After harvest | | Pod length (cm) | PL | Mean lengths measured from five randomly selected pods from each plant (up to 5 plants) | After harvest | | Pod yield per plant (g) | PY | Mean weight for all pods measured from five randomly selected plants | After harvest | | Number of seeds per pod | NS | Mean number of seeds counted from five randomly selected pods from each plant (up to 5 plants) | After harvest | | Seed yield per plant (g) | SY | Mean weight for all seeds measured from five randomly selected plants | After threshing | | Plot seed weight (g) | PSW | Weight of all seeds from all plants in a plot | After threshing | | Yield (kg) | SYHa | Weight of seeds per ha | After threshing | | 100 seed weight (g) | 100SW | Weight of 100 randomly selected seeds | After threshing |
