Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L) Wilzeck) varieties MG-3 and MG-9 was germinated in 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25(v/v) percent concentrations of Machete, 2,4-D and Mungbean Extract. Percent germination, hypocotyl length(cm), protein content(ug/ml) and ascorbic acid (mg/g) were determined. Results were statistically analyzed using One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in a completely randomized design(CRD). The different concentrations of Machete (Chloro-2,6-diethyl-N-(butoxy methyl) acetanilide), 2,4-D(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) and Mungbean Extract did not significantly affect germination and protein content. However, the hypocotyl length was notably reduced as the concentration of the various treatments was increased for both varieties. However both varieties was unaffected when germinated on Machete as Ascorbic acid is concerned while MG-9 was significantly affected by 2,4-D on all concentrations and MG-3 was significantly affected by Mungbean extract on all concentrations.
