Abstract

It recorded an average yield of 769 kg/ha with an increased yield of 24% over Co4, 22% over KM 2 and 19% over Paiyur 1. Based on the performance, this culture NPRG 1 was released as Vamban 1 greengram in 1989 for large scale cultivation in Tamil Nadu. This variety is suitable for Kharif and Rabi seasons. It is well suited for intercropping system. It is moderately resistant to yellow mosaic virus disease.
