Abstract

Among 15 pea genotypes screened, three genotypes viz., Pant P 167, IPFD 10–13 and IPFD 10–12 were found resistant against aphid, while only genotype IPFD 10–13 was found resistant against leafhopper and thrips. The results further indicated that Pant P 167, IPFD 10–13 and IPFD 10–12 proved resistant against whitefly. Based on overall performance, IPFD 10–13 genotype of field pea was found to exhibit multiple resistance against all the evaluated sucking pests. The yield of marketable seeds of field pea was highest in the genotype IPFD 10–13 (3416.66 kg ha−1) followed by genotypes Pant P 167, IPFD 10–12 and IPF 99–25(ch) with yield of 3229.16, 2937.50 and 2916.66 kg ha−1.
