Abstract
Evaluation of Mung bean Germplasm for Resistance against Mung bean Yellow Mosaic Virus and Whitefly Population in Relation to Epidemiological Factors
Highlights
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) belongs to family Fabaceae is famous for its rich protein seed contents which range between 22-24% ensure admirable digestibility and improved taste
Twelve mung bean genotypes namely NM-92, NM-2006, Azri 2006, NM-121, NM-54, NM-20-21, 014358, 014287, 014530, 07007, 058003 and NM-98 collected from Ayub Agricultural Research Institute (AARI), Faisalabad were sown for disease screening nursery in the Research Area of Department of Plant Pathology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad following randomized complete block design replicated three times
An effort was made to exploit the sources of resistance in the available germplasm of mung bean
Summary
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) belongs to family Fabaceae is famous for its rich protein seed contents which range between 22-24% ensure admirable digestibility and improved taste. It contains 24.7% protein, 0.6% fat, 0.5% ash and many vitamins like A, B, E, C and K [1].
