Abstract
Mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) is one of the most important and extensively cultivated pulse crops. It is commonly known as “mung”, “greengram” or “mungbean”. In India, pulses can be produced with a minimum use of resources and hence, it becomes less costly even than animal protein. It is an excellent source of protein considered as a “poor men’s protein”. Diseases are the major constraint in economic crop production as they inflict heavy losses. Contaminated seed can often result in poor germination and poor seedling vigour, resulting in an un-healthy crop. Field fungus associated with seeds cause deterioration of seed quality, affect viability and reduces germination.
