Abstract
Fifty eight mungbean genotypes/cultivars of indigenous as well as exotic origin were screened against natural infection of bacterial leaf spot disease under field conditions to at National Agriculture Research Centre, Islamabad during Kharif season of 2012. Four genotypes exhibited resistant reaction, five displayed moderately resistant reaction and 32 were tolerant, while the rest were either susceptible or highly susceptible against the disease. Identified resistant sources may be exploited for the development of high yielding disease resistant cultivars of mungbean by using in hybridization programme.
