Field evaluation of 19 (Ninteen) early maturing field pea genotypes (dwarf) and 13 (thirteen) late maturing genotypes (tall) against pea leaf miner Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau) and pod borer, Etiella zinckenella (Treistchke) revealed that the incidence of the leaf miner damage in early maturing genotypes ranged from 14.3 per cent in DDR 45 to 36.3 per cent in DDR 49 and HFP 8909, respectively, whereas in late maturing genotypes it ranged from 9.1 per cent in IFF 98–18 to 20 per cent in HUP-19, respectively. The per cent pod damaged by pod borer in early maturing genotypes was minimum (1 per cent) in Pant P-11. HUDP-15, LFP-283, KPMR-526 and KPMR 593 and maximum in HUDP 17 (4.0 per cent). In late maturing genotypes the leaf miner damage was minimum in DMR-38 and IPF 98–18 (1 per cent) and maximum in KPMR-551. The early maturing genotype KPMR 583 recorded maximum grain yield (2250 kg/ha), while minimum yield was recorded in Pant P-11 (410 Kg/ha). Among late maturing genotype, KPMR 497 recorded maximum grain yield (1140 kg/ha) while minimum yield was recorded in DMR 39 and KPMR 551 (340 kg/ha).
