At maturity, mung bean plants were hand-harvested on
2 September 2011 (71 DAS) from an area of 3 m2
within
each plot. After drying, random subsamples of 10 plants
from each subplot were taken to assess the number of pods
per plant, the number of seeds per pod and 100-kernel
weight. Other plants were also threshed mechanically
to separate seed from all other shoot components. Yield
was determined for all the plants from the 3-m2
patch in
each plot
