The following research comprised the evaluation of one local cultivar, ‘Durdona,’ and 15 exotic genotypes of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) for mean performance and traits association through morpho-yield attributes under field conditions of Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan. Results showed exotic mung bean lines AVMU2003, AVMU2004, AVMU1681, and AVMU2002 have better performance for morpho-yield traits than other genotypes. The correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between the grains per pod and grain weight per pod, as well as grain weight per pod and 1000-grain weight. The traits of number of grains per pod and grain weight per pod had a positive effect and major contribution in managing the seed yield in mung beans.

Genotypes AVMU2003, AVMU2004, AVMU1681, and AVMU2002 have shown better performance for morpho-yield traits than other genotypes. These genotypes’ use can be effective in future breeding programs for improvement in mung beans.
