Inter mating was attempted in the F2 population of two greengram crosses viz.,LGG 410 x LGG 450 and RMG 406 x MGG330 and compared with the F3 bulk population of the respective crosses. Fullsib progenies recorded higher mean valuescompared to F3 bulk population in addition to that, it was also observed that the lower and upper limits of range ofvariation in the full sib progenies was far below and the above limits in F3 bulk populations. Variance was found to behigher for most of the characters in full sib progenies than their corresponding F3 bulk populations and may be attributed toincreased magnitude of variability in the desired direction.
