In the Philippines syncrhronized maturity, seasonal adaptation, and high yield along with
disease resistance were emphasized. The Bureau of Plant Industry and the University of the
Philippines Los Banos conduct research and develop new varieties.
Indonesia, Thailand, USA, Sri Lanka, and Australia have mungbean breeding programs
which have released new improved varieties that are high yielding, carry resistance to powdery
mildew and cercospora leaf spot, have synchronized maturity, and large seed size. A list of
varieties from AVRDC materials released in different countries are given in table 4.
