Abstract:
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is wellknown and important crop in Indonesia. Indonesian people like the refined product of mung bean. The high benefit and nutritional content of mung bean make this species as good alternative food ingredient. The Mung bean production in Riau is still relatively low and the variety of green bean that tolerance to acid soil is not known yet. The aim of this research was to determine the phenotypic performance of national Merpati mung bean variety from Pekanbaru, Riau. In this study, the seeds of this variety were grew at the Biology experimental garden, Faculty of Math and Natural Science, University of Riau. The parameters observed were flowering time, plant height, number of productive branches, number of pods cropping, crop pod length, number of seeds pod, and a weight of 100 seed crop. The results showed that the phenotypic performance of national Merpati mung bean variety is described as follow flowering time (33 days after planting), plant height (59,20 cm), the number of productive branches (12.30), number of pods cropping (18.55), long pods cropping (9,38 cm), the number of seeds per pod (10,7), and a weight of 100 seed crop (5.40 g)
