Abstract
generation, 0.2% EMS and 300 Gy γ rays+0.2% EMS treatments induced maximum increase in mean pod length, seeds per pod and 100-seed weight in both the varieties. Genetic parameters showed manifold increase in most of the mutagenic treatments and varied from trait to trait. Increased genetic variability for economically important traits in the selected mutant lines has successfully contributed in diversifying the accessible genetic base which could be exploited for subsequent improvement of urdbean through phenotypic selection.
