For optimum crop production, the best spacing requirement must be adopted. Although the recommended spacing requirement of mungbean is abundant in literature globally, there is no such information on studies conducted within derived savannah agroecological zone of southeast Nigeria, despite the crop’s usefulness as food, green manure, and nitrogen fixer. We hypothesized that the spacing requirement of mungbean may vary with genotype. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate the response of three mungbean genotypes to four spacing types in derived savannah agroecology. The experiment was a split-plot design with genotype (Tvr18, Tvr65, and Tvr83) as the main plot treatment and plant spacing (30x10, 40x10, 30x15, and 40x15 cm) as the sub-plot treatment. Data were collected on 19 agronomic traits. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that plant spacing of 30x10 cm influenced significantly higher (p<0.05) values i...
