The susceptibility of 50 mung bean germplasm accessions was evaluated against pod borer complex. The least incidence of larvae was observed in the accession NDMK 15–513 (1.12 larvae/ 5 plants) in comparison to the checks SML 1811 and ML623 (2.20 and 7.20 larvae/ 5 plants, respectively). The pod damage was the least with accession IPM 14–7 (1.33%) in contrast to the checks SML 1811 (3.33%) and ML 623 (8.80%). As per the pest susceptibility rating, three accessions viz., ML 2410, IPM 14–7 and NDMK 15–513 can be categorized as the least susceptible.
