The incidence of fungal pathogens associated with Mungbean (Vigna radiata) in Allahabad region was carried out with the objectives to isolate and identify the fungal pathogens from the rhizosphere of Mungbean crop. As fungal diseases is one of the most important constraints to Mungbean production in India. 50 soil samples which are collected from the rhizosphere of infected Mungbean crop were found to have fungal incidence (78%). Among 39 fungal isolates, 6 fungal isolates were found to have incidence of which Aspergillus terreus (12.82%) have shown high incidence followed Cladosporium sphaeropermum, Curvularia lunata, Aspergillus awamori and Chaetomium globosum (10.26%), Alternaria alternate and Rhizoctonia solani (7.69%), Penicillium crateriforme, Helminthosporium australiensis, Mucor circinelloides, Rhizopus stolonifer, Trichoderma harzianum (5.13%), Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium oxysporium (2.56%).
