Abstract

Ten mungbean mutant lines obtained from irradiation and chemical substances were tested against the 2 recommended varieties on resistance to the diseases and insect namely powdery mildew, Cercospora leaf spot and cowpea weevil. The 2 diseases using artificial inoculation were investigated in the greenhouse while cowpea weevil was studied under laboratory conditions. Apart from these, regional yield trial were also conducted at 7 experimental stations during the dry and rainy seasons of 1998. The investigation revealed the tested mutant lines to have potential development into new varieties. They were, M5-10 and M5-25 resistant to powdery mildew, M5-22 and M5-25 resistant to Cercospora leaf spot, M5-16 and M5-29 resistant to cowpea weevil and the other 5 lines of M4-2, M5-1, M5-5, M5-15 and M5-28 with trend of producing good yields.
