To identify sources of resistance against Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMV) screening was done under rainfed condition at MARS, Raichur during kharif 2015. Among one hundred and six genotypes tested, twenty five genotypes were procured from AVRDC (Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center), Legume section at ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the Semi- arid Tropics) campus, Hyderabad and eighty one genotypes were collected from Agricultural Research Station, Bidar. The disease incidence varied from 12.4 to 86.4 per cent on tested genotypes. Further, tested genotypes were grouped into different categories based on 0-5 disease scale. None of the genotypes showed highly resistant and resistant reaction. But 19 genotypes showed moderate resistance reaction, 22 genotypes showed moderate susceptible reaction, 50 genotypes showed susceptible reaction and 15 genotypes showed highly susceptible reaction including susceptible check.
