B. M. aGenetic diversity in mungbean. c1993 aGenetic diversity in mungbean Vigna radiata (L) Wilczek from a seven parent half diallel cross was analysed using multivariate analysis. Existence of substancial amount of diversity was observed in crosses resulting from this limited sample of seven parents. Twenty eight populations could be placed in seven distinct clusters which were characterised by high or low means for specific characters and the differential behaviour of character menas was quite prominent. This suggested that in mungbean a genepool can easily be synthesised by intercrossing only a limited number of genetically diverse lines which the breeder might appropriately seek to manipulate. aVigna radiata aFeijão Mungo aAnalise canonica aAnalise multivariada aDivergencia genetica aGenetic diversity1 aCHATURVEDI, S.
