One hundred mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] germplasm accessions were evaluated for resistance against leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora canescens under artificially inoculated disease condition in the field. There was a considerable variation among the genotypes with respect to disease reaction. Disease rating scale of 1-5 was used for the evaluation of resistance of mungbean accessions. Eleven accessions; 013987, 013929, 014219, 014240, 014241, 014243, 014245, 014258, 014259, 014293 and 014309 were found highly resistant with disease rating score 1, 31 with disease rating score 2 showed resistant reaction against the disease while 30 exhibited the moderately resistant (tolerant) reaction. Rest of the accessions with disease rating 4-5 were either susceptible or highly susceptible.
