The present study was conducted to assess the toxicological effect of carbendazim on seed germination, seedlings survival, plants height and number of branches of Vigna mungo taking its variety IPU-13-01. The healthy seeds of Vigna mungo was treated with 0.125%, 0.250%, 0.375% and 0.500% concentrations of carbendazim before sowing in the experimental field in both M₁ and M₂ generation and result were recorded. The observation clearly showed negligible or no toxicological effect up to 0.250% treatment concentration. However higher than 0.250% concentration of carbendazim showed toxicological effect on germination as well as morphological characters taken for study. The 0.500% concentration showed even 12-13% reduction in height and 27% reduction in number of branches. Thus upto 0.250% concentration is safe for farmer use while more than 0.250% concentration has toxic effect on Vigna mungo which showed increasing trends of toxicity with increasing the concentration above 0.250%.
