One hundred horsegram genotypes were screened against yellow mosaic virus under field conditions during 2011. Among the different genotypes screened, 38 genotypes showed resistant reaction, six moderately resistant, three moderately susceptible, 23 susceptible and remaining 30 genotypes showed highly susceptible reaction to HgYMV. There is a need to identify resistant source and develop new genotypes against both vector as well as the disease. The resistant genotypes identified could be used in breeding programme for development of suitable varieties.
