Response of different mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) varieties against whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.) and yellow mosaic virus incidence

E06859

The susceptibility of 10 mung bean cultivars (OUM-11-5, Samrat, Pant M-4, LGG-460, PDM-54, Nayagarh Local, Dhauli, Sujata, TARM-1 and OBGG-52) to whitefly (B. tabaci) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) was investigated under field conditions during the summer season of 2012 in Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India. The lowest whitefly population (6.33/10 plants) was observed in OBGG-52, followed by Sujata. Samrat and OUM-11-5 were the most susceptible cultivars, recording more than 15 whitefly/10 plants. No incidence of MYMV was recorded in PDM-54 and Pant M-4, however, they harboured 14.33 and 12.66 whiflies/10 plants. Samrat and Dhauli showed less than 2% MYMV-infected plants. The highest incidence of MYMV (6.77%) was observed in OUM-11-5.
