ABSTRACT
Out of twenty six germplasm lines screened against yellow mosaic virus disease in field conditions, the cultures WGG-37 recorded lowest incidence of the disease(16.66%) with a single plant yield of 3.6g, appears to be moderately susceptible to the disease. However the cultures IC 369790 and IC 333175 recorded highest single plant yields of 4.62g and 4.40g respectively despite the disease incidence is 100%. It shows that these cultures escaped the disease at the flowering and fruiting stage.
Key words :
Germplasm, Greengram, Yellow mosaic virus.
