Screening of Mungbean Germplasms against Root-Knot Nematode, Melodigyne javanica to Find Out the Source of Resistance

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) have been widely recorded in mung bean growing areas. Screening for resistant genotypes has reduced the damage caused by the root-knot nematodes. An experiment was conducted to find out the Screening of mungbean germplasms against root-knot nematode, Melodigyne javanica to find out the source of resistance. Total forty-one cultivars screened in which three cultivars i.e., IPM 1603-3, MH 1142 (Ch.) and MH 1772 were found to be moderately resistant, twenty-eight cultivars recorded as susceptible and ten recorded highly susceptible ones.
