A field experiment was conducted on twelve Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) genotypes under water stress condition at S.V agricultural college, Tirupati. A wide diversity among the genotypes in their physio-morphological characters was recorded. Genotypes varied from genotypes TBG-104, KU-12-13 plant height was slightly affected during moisture stress condition in both the years and maintained higher nodule number in irrigated control as well as moisture condition. TBG-104, KU-12-13, KU-12-37, LBG-623 recorded significantly higher leaf area, drymatter partioning under both irrigated as well as stress conditions, which denotes the ability of these genotypes in sustaining the photosynthesising area and accumulation of photosynthates in stem. Whereas NDU-12-300 recorded lowest total dry matter during rabi 2015-16 and rabi 2016-17.
