Abstract: Mungbean is a vital, eco-friendly legume rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, crucial for sustainable agriculture. However, its productivity is severely hampered by various abiotic and biotic stresses, with salinity being a particularly severe environmental challenge. The present filed study was conducted at Soil Research Farm, CCS HAU, Haryana for the screening of thirteen genotypes including for national checks (Pusha Vishal, IPM 02-3, Pusa 9531, Virat (IPM 205-7) under saline water irrigation (ECiw 5-6 dS m-1). The results revealed that while plant height, pods per plant, and pod length are not significantly affected by saline stress, but seed weight, seeds per pod and seed yield varied significantly among different genotypes. The significant highest seed yield obtained for PMS 9 (504.77 kg ha-1) and PMS 12 (501.03 kg ha-1) being statistically at par with PMS 10, PMS 13 and PMS 8. Lowest yield was recorded with IPM 02-3 genotype. Genotypes like PMS 9 and PMS 12 likely possess traits that enhance their ability to manage saline stress, such as improved salt tolerance or adaptability.
