Plant breeders at the Pulses Research Institute are conducting selection and identification of superior mashbean (Vigna mungo) genotypes, alongside evaluation of advanced research material. The team is also engaged in systematic data collection for mungbean (Vigna radiata) trials to assess agronomic performance and genetic variability.

Plant breeders at the Pulses Research Institute, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan, are engaged in the systematic selection and identification of superior genotypes and elite breeding lines, representing a significant initiative in pulse crop improvement.

Selection of superior genotypes and elite breeding lines from mungbean (Vigna radiata) germplasm, coupled with field surveys of mungbean and mashbean (Vigna mungo) crops to assess performance and genetic variability.

Field operations in progress: mash and mung bean crops at flowering and pod formation stages; overall farm condition assessed.

Field inspection of pesticide treatments and other agronomic operations.
