Özet

This study was conducted to evaluate the yield components in mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] using the correlation, path and factor analyses. It was found that there was considerable variation for the characters studied. Factor 1 composed of 100-grain weight, pod length, pod width, branches per plant and pods per plant. The grain weight was strongly correlated with pod length and pod width. Pods per plant were significantly and positively associated with branches per plant. Factor 2 consisted of biological, straw and grain yields. The seed yield was highly associated with biological and straw yields. Factor 3 comprised of seed per pod, pods and flowers per peduncle. The fourth factor was only the days to flowering. The last factor was plant height. The total factors had 74% of the total variance induced by the characters. It was firstly concluded that the factor analysis together with path and correlation coefficients could successfully be used for determining characters usable for selection in the mung bean breeding programs.
