Fourteen mung bean genotypes were evaluated at Barani Agricultural Research Station, Kohat during 2014 in randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance depicted significant differences among genotypes for all the traits studied. Maximum plant height was recorded for genotype VC-6321 (105.7cm), pod length for Mung NM-06 (9.7cm), seeds pod^-1 for NM-19-19 (12), biological yield for NM-92 (13111.1 kgha^-1), whereas Mung NM11 showed maximum values for pods plant^-1 (22.5), 1000-grain weight (55.6 g), grain yield (3401.8 kg ha^-1) and harvest index (36.5%). Genotype Mung NM11 showed highest values pods plant^-1, 1000-grain weight and grain yield and could be recommended for general cultivation in Kohat region.

Development of superior crop varieties is the prime objectives of all plant breeding programs. To determine genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance, 24 elite bread wheat lines were planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar under rainfed conditions. Data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant height (cm), flag leaf area (cm-2), spike length (cm), grain yield (kg ha-1), biological yield (kg ha-1), 1000 grain weight (g), grains spike-1, grain weight spike-1(g), and harvest index (%). Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes for all the traits studied. Broad sense heritability was high for days to heading (0.89), grain weight spike-1(0.61g), spike length (0.70 cm), 1000-grain weight (0.62g), grain yield (0.78 kg ha-1) and harvest index (0.62%); and was moderate for days to maturity (0.52), plant height (0.38 cm), and grains spike-1 (0.49), while low heritability was estimated for spike weight (0.25g), flag leaf area (0.28 cm-2) and biological yield (0.25 kg ha-1). The values of genetic advance for days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, grains spike-1, grain weight spike-1, 1000-grain weight, grain yield, biological yield, flag leaf area, and harvest index were; 5.47, 1.88, 4.01, 6.42, 0.16, 5.02, 0.71, 418.83, 379.64, 2.89 and 3.92, respectively. Genotype PR 105 surpassed all other genotypes in grain yield (3144.33 kg ha-1) and hence it can be recommended for rainfed area.
