Genetic variability parameters were studied in 64 mungbean genotypes for different phenological, morpho-physiological, yield and related traits. None of the trait was found with high estimates for GCV and PCV, while moderate estimates were observed for number of pods/cluster, biomass/plant, number of clusters/plant, number of pods/plant, 100-seed weight, plant height, grain yield/plant, chlorophyll content, plot yield and number of secondary branches. High heritability estimates were observed for most of the traits except % flower shed and pod length. Hence, direct selection may be exercised for improvement of these traits. High estimates of genetic advance were recorded for chlorophyll content and plot yield, whereas moderate for plant height and remaining traits had low estimates of genetic advance and indicated that most of the traits were controlled by polygenes. Maximum genetic advance as per cent of mean was registered for number of pods/cluster, biomass/plant, number of clusters/plant, number of pods/plant, 100-seed weight, plant height, grain yield/plant, chlorophyll content and number of secondary branches.
