Abstract

                                An attempt has been made to assess the partitioning of nutrient elements and assimilate from various parts of the plant into the seeds of 15 genotypes of greengram, classified as high yielders, med-um yielders and low yielders in relation to yield. The behaviour of the 15 genotypes with reference to total uptake by the plant was considered along with partitioning of nitrogen, phosphorus and carbohydrate which showed positive association with yielding ability of the genotypes, while calcium and magnesium exhibited uncertain relationship. Potassium behaved rather favourably in most of the high yielders. The high yielders recorded high protein content arid protein turn over.
