Chickpea intercropped with coriander recorded minimum number of pod borer larvae per meter row length and maximum yield (q/ha) of chickpea. This was followed by chickpea + mustard, chickpea + pea and chickpea + linseed. All the intercropping combination scored less pod borer population and higher yield in comparison to the chickpea sole crop.
