Abstract

(219) varieties/lines of mung bean were screened under pot conditions for their susceptibility to root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne javanica. None was recorded resistant but, 15 varieties exhibited moderate resistance. An initial inoculum level of 100 larvae/kg soil and above caused significant reduction in plant growth (var. K 851).
