Eighty-five and 72 lines of mungbean germplasm were evaluated in 1978 and
1979, respectively. Lam GG 127 and CC I were the earliest maturing lines. The
highest number of pods were recorded in LM 294-1 (118.6) and ML 5 (130.4) in
1978 and 1979, respectively. LM 294-1 also gave the highest yield (24.59 g) in
1978. EC 162000-1 had the highest number of seeds/pod (12.1) and gave the
highest yield (25.50 gm) in 1979. The lines 11/99, 11/395 and 1b-303-20-3-g
were resistant to MYMV (mungbean yellow mosaic virus) and CLS (Cercospora leaf
spot). The positive and significant correlations of plant/height with
pods/plant, yield/plant and of pods/plant with yield/plant were observed in
both years. The MYMV and CLS reactions had negative and significant
correlations with yield, and pods/plant in both years. [AS]

Out of 281 cultivars of blackgram observed for their reaction to yellow
mosaic disease (YMV) under natural conditions of epiphytotics, 15 cvs. remained
free from infection, 11 cvs. were tolerant, 20 cvs. were moderately tolerant,
33 cvs. were susceptible, and 202 cvs. were highly susceptible. The studies
revealed that a major setback to pod bearing, maturity and yield in blackgram
occurred at 25% infection intensity of YMV. Therefore, the use of parent
material even with 25% YMV infection should be discouraged in the hybridization
program. [AS]

Screening of varieties of mungbean and blackgram against yellow mosaic
disease under natural conditions of infection in the field and after artificial
inoculation in the glasshouse was done at Hissar. Yellow mosaic disease reduced
height upto 38.2%, fresh weight of shoot upto 28.5%, and loss in yield per
plant upto 66.6%, and loss in 1000-seed weight upto 25.7%. Shape, size and
appearance of pods and seeds of diseased plants were also considerably
distorted. However, the germinability of seeds was apparently unaffected due to
yellow mosaic. [AS]

Twenty-seven varieties of mungbean were screened for resistance to
Cercospora leaf spot. Nine varieties were found resistant, and 10 varieties
were proved moderately resistant. [THHJ
