Evaluation of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivars for resistance to yellow mosaic virus

Two year field screening was undertaken during Kharif season of 2011 and 2012 with eight varieties of Mungbean to ascertain its resistance against Yellow mosaic virus disease. It is evident from the pooled data that no varieties/ lines showed complete resistance to YMV disease during both the consecutive years 2011 and 2012 but it was found that the incidence of the disease varied from 36.70% to 9.12%.
