Evaluation of elite genotypes of mungbean against Cercospora leaf spot disease (CLS) caused by Cercospora canescens

Abstract

The AUDPC is the best measurement of CLS disease of mungbean, since it is based on several readings of disease intensity from the early to the mature stage. Thirtyone genotypes of the mungbean crop showed similar disease reactions at later stages both under the polyhouse and field conditions. Under field conditions, 22 genotypes were found moderately resistant, seven susceptible and two genotypes were highly susceptible, and under polyhouse conditions eight genotypes showed resistance, 19 moderate resistance and four genotypes were found susceptible. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
