We evaluated 25 genotypes of mungbean in the summer in Viçosa (sown in December 1997) and Prudente de Morais (sown in January 1999): nineteen lines from the Asian Vegetable Research Development Center, four from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa da Amazônia, one cv. from Peru besides cv. Ouro Verde. Yield varied from 1.2 to 2.0 t/ha in Viçosa, and from 1.3 to 2.6 t/ha in Prudente de Morais. Several lines yielded more than the cultivar Ouro Verde, standing out the line VC 3984-B-2-B-4-1-B due to the resistance to prostration. Mungbeans were well adapted in the summer season providing high yield in relatively short time.
