Abstract: Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) is also known as mung, moong, mungo. In India it is third most important pulse crop after chickpea and pigeonpea. Mungbean is an important short duration grain legume which is grown in different parts of the country, for grain and green manuring. It is an outstanding source of easily digestible proteins with low flatulence, which balances the staple rice diet in Asia. Mungbean yellow mosaic disease (MYMD) caused by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) transmitted mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) is an important constraint of mungbean in India. Use of resistant genotypes is the best method of avoiding the occurrence of the disease. Keeping this point in view, out of fifty two genotypes of mungbean were tested for the resistance against MYMV during Kharif 2015 in field condition. The per cent disease incidence (PDI) of MYMV among 52 mungbean genotypes was worked out up to ninth week after sowing and it varied from 0 to 79.68 %. Out of fifty two mungbean genotypes, five were found resistance, eight were moderately resistant, seventeen genotypes were recorded moderately susceptible and twenty two genotypes were noticed susceptible. Five genotypes namely, PM 10-18, PUSA 1371, BM 2012-09, DGGV-2 and MH 810 found resistant during present investigation which can be used for the development of mapping population for the development of MYMV resistant varieties.
