Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) also known as Green gram is a self-pollinated leguminous crop and is among the most important pulse crops of the world. The experiment was conducted at Kile village of Harari regional state on farmers’ field during the main cropping season under rain fed with the objective to investigate and select the best adapted mung bean variety for the study area. The experiment consisted of seven mung bean varieties including local check arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. The analysis of variance revealed that there was significant (P < 0.05) difference among the varieties for number of branch per plant, pod per plant, seed per pod and grain yield. The analysis of variance showed that there was no significant (P > 0.05) difference among the varieties for plant height and number of bunch per plant. Showa robit gave the highest (969.8 kg/ha) grain yield followed by Borda (MH-97-6) (947.8 kg/ha) while the lowest (637.4 kg/ha) was obtained from local check. Shawa robit and Borda variety gave 52.12% and 48.7% yield advantages respectively over the local check. Therefore, Showa robit and Borda (MH-97-6) improved mung bean varieties were recommended for further demonstration to the study area and similar agro-ecologies.
