Mau YS, Madu1VFY, Ndiwa ASS, Adar D, Gandut YRY. 2017. Yield performance of eight mungbean (Phaseolus radiatus)genotypes in two locations in Manggarai District, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Trop Drylands 1: 24-31. The objective of this studywas to elucidate yield performance of eight mungbean genotypes at two locations in Manggarai District, East Nusa Tenggara Province.A Randomized Block Design was employed consisting of 8 treatments, each was 3 replicates. The assigned treatments were eightmungbean genotypes consisted of one local cultivar and seven Indonesian released superior varieties. Observed variables included yieldcomponents and yield of mungbean. Data from each location was subjectd to ANOVA, followed by a combined ANOVA involving datafrom both locations. A post hoc test of DMRT (5%) was performed to compare the treatment means. The study results showed thatgenotype x location interaction significantly or highly significantly affected most of the observed variables, except plant height atflowering, plant height at harvest, productive branches plant-1 and 100-seed weight. Vima-1 and Murai were found to perform betterthan other genotypes in most of yield component and yield traits in both locations. The highest mean seed yield over two locations wasproduced by Murai (991.87 g plot-1) and Vima-1 (967.90 g plot-1). Mean seed yield of all genotypes at Perak was 365.0 g plot-1 whilethat in Watu Baur was 761.27 g plot-1.
