Abstract

Pattern of susceptibility of pigeonpea genotypes against three pod boring insects viz., spotted and pod borer (Maruca testulalis Geyer.), pod fly (Melanagromyza abtusa Malloch) and pod weevil (Apion clavipes Gerst.), on the basis of extent of pod damage in two different years, showed that the genotypes ICPL-83015 and Pusa-6 were relatively less suceptible as against ICPL-151 which was found highly prone to the borer attack under the agro-climatic conditions of North Bihar.
