Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. wilczek) is an important short duration pulse crop of Gujarat. It is inflicted by
number of diseases but MYMV is the most serious disease whichis also observed on several alternate and
collateral hosts which act as primary sources of inoculum. Further, farmers of mungbean cultivation
requirements were to cultivate medium duration maturing varieties in kharif season to prevent rainfall
damage at maturity stage. Efforts were therefore made at Pulses & Castor Research Station NAU, Navsari
and a crosses were attempted between Meha x GM-4 during 2010. It was evaluated in four kharif season
and three summer seasons in ten different trials with four checks. Considering all kharif and summer
seasons for overall performances of 37 trials in Gujarat it was found promising where it recorded 17.8,
22.9, 25.1 and 17.5% increase over yield check varieties viz., Meha, GM-4, GAM-5 and GM-6 resp.. The
GM-7 variety was found resistant against MYMV disease and has high yield potential and good quality.
