Abstract: Vigna radiata (L.) wilczek, commonly known as greengram widely cultivating in India. Greengram is good source of protein and other cosmetic uses. The resistance source is available in wild genotypes of Vigna species. The Vigna umbellata having good source for bruchids durable resistance. The bruchid Callosobruchus maculatus (L.) was done by feeding assay in laboratory conditions. Resistance to bruchids was identified in the F1 derivatives of V. radiata x V. umbellata. Out of 187 rills, the Rill - 158, Rill-165 and Rill- 169 showed 100 percent resistance against bruchid attack. All the other plants showed varying the level of resistance and susceptibility against bruchids. So, the rill -158, rill -165 and rill- 169 showed 100 percent resistance can be utilized for the development of bruchid resistant genotypes in greengram for future greengram improvement breeding programme.
