Abstract: Mungbean is an ecologically important legume, but its productivity is often affected by its susceptibility to salinity stress. To address this challenge, it is crucial to identify and screen varieties that demonstrate strong performance under saline conditions. This study, conducted during the Kharif 2022atCCSHAU, Hisar, aimed to evaluate sixteen mungbean varieties under saline irrigation (EC 5.0 dS/m). Seeds were sown on April 11, 2022, in a randomized block design with three replications. Results showed significant yield variations among genotypes. IPM02-3 (check) had the highest yield (4.84 q/ha), followed byPMS-9 (4.67 q/ha), whilePMS-15 (2.73 q/ha) had the lowest. IPM02-3 (check) also exhibited the tallest plants (59.30 cm), longest pods (9.04 cm), most pods per plant (27.30), and highest seeds per pod (9.48). The mean soil salinity (EC1:2) at harvest was1.11 dS/m. Identifying salt-tolerant varieties likeIPM02-3 (check) can help in improving mung bean cultivation under saline conditions.
