Pulses hold a remarkable significance by providing affordable source of dietary protein and other vital nutrients. However, various biotic (weeds, pathogens, and insect infestation) and abiotic (temperature, nutrient stress, waterlogging, drought, salinity, and heavy metals) constraints induce substantial harm by decreasing its production. Weeds pose a significant global challenge as these not only compete with crop for vital resources such as sunlight, space, nutrients, and water but also attract other pests and pathogens that can harm the pulse crops. The weed–crop intervention varies significantly based on the crop type, topography, and soil characteristics. The implementation of chemical weed control strategies not only revolutionized the global agriculture but also widely acknowledged as an essential tool in accelerating crop productivity. Pre-emergent herbicides are easy to get in the market; however, the lack of post-emergence herbicides for certain pulses is of primary concern. The use of alternative weed control chemicals not just eradicates weeds but the risk of damaging the pulse crop may persist. The development of herbicide-resistant crop using modern techniques is the current objective of plant researchers. For this aim, induce mutation stands out the most cost-effective and reliable option, which can be accomplished using both physical and chemical mutagens.

Purpose. To carry out an analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature sources, information resources and the results of previous studies, based on which to evaluate the biological and ecological features and productive potential of plants Vigna genus and to determine their prospects for introduction in Ukraine. Methods. In the process of research, inventory information of NBG collection funds, catalogs of botanical gardens of Ukraine, directories, registers of varieties were used. Printed and electronic scientific periodicals and searchable scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, Researchgate, Research4Life, Science Direct, Google Scholar) were involved in the information search. The work used methods of introduction, analysis, systematization, comparison, and generalization of information data. Results. In the course of the screening of literary sources, it was found that the center of origin of plants of the genus Vigna is considered to be West Africa. Archaeological finds of these representatives date back to the IV millennium BC. Today, their natural and cultigenic ranges cover the Holarctic, Paleotropical, Neotropical and Australian realms. The genus Vigna includes 105 species of plants, of which about 10 species are known in culture today, which are characterized by high heat, drought, acid and salt resistance, capable of providing high productivity of above-ground phytomass (3500–4500 kg/ha of absolutely dry matter) and productivity seeds (over 2000 kg/ha). Due to its rich biochemical composition (accumulates proteins, starch, vitamins, micro- and macroelements), it is actively used as a food, medicinal, fodder crop both in its homeland and almost all over the world. Conclusions. Thus, plants of species of the genus Vigna are promising potential crops of the 21st century. Their high adaptive capacity to biotic and abiotic factors of the environment, productive potential testifies to their prospects for introduction and acclimatization throughout the world, the selection of resistant genotypes capable of effectively resisting the challenges of modern climate changes and preventing a possible food crisis.
