Abstract

Through induced mutagenesis in blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Happer) a high /ielding mutant suitable for cultivation under irrigated and rainfed conditions was rele- ased as an improved strain Co. 4 during January 1978 by the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. This strain is of short duration (70 days), compact. erect in habit determi ata in growth with synchronous maturity and photoinsensitive. The strain gives an average grain yield of 1142 kg and 567 kg per hectare accounting for an increase of 17.8 per cent and 31.6 per cent over Co. 2 in grain yield under irrigated and rainfed conditions respectively.
