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 at National Agriculture Research Centre, Islamabad during Kharif season of 2002. Two genotypes exhibited highly resistant reaction, 10 displayed resistant reaction and 18 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.
