RESUMO
Pulses are obtained from leguminous plants that have many bioactive components and good nutritional value, being rich in protein, vitamins, and abundant macro- and micronutrients and thus contribute to global food security. Moth bean is compatible with the climatic conditions of Rajasthan because it is a drought-resistant crop though it is affected by many pathogenic microorganisms as fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Infection of these microorganisms causes damage to plants which results in loss of productivity. In the current context, a review on fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases of moth bean has been dealt with. The major diseases of moth bean reported are leaf blight, leaf spots, seedling stem and root rot, pod rot, web blight, common bacterial blight, and mung bean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) causing yield loss
