Abstract

The experiment was conducted during winter season 2019-2020 in the fields of agriculture college – Wasit university. The experiment was carried out as a split-plot design based on Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications, the main plots were included the genotypes G1 : Luz de Otono, G2 : Mulish and G3 : Lot nr 5771 (the genotypes were characterized in Table 1), sub plots were included four concentrations of mutagenesis Ethyl methane sulphonate (E0 : control, E1 : 1 ppm, E2 : 5 ppm and E3 : 10 ppm) were sprayed on shoot apexes after emergence, the results appeared as : The genotype (G2) recorded the highest average leaf area in a plant and plant seed yield while the genotype (G3) was superior in number pods per plant, number of days until 50% flowering and plant seed yield, the concentration (E3) was given the highest average for the leaf area, number of pods per plant, number of days until 50% flowering and plant seed yield, the interaction (G3*E3) gave the highest average for the leaf area, number pods per plant, number days until 50% flowering and plant seed yield.
