Abstract

Among the sixteen genotypes, Gl 187 was least preferred for egg laying (76 eggs) and recorded lowest damaged seeds (66.5 percent), lowest adult emergence (72.08 percent), highest developmental period (47 days) and lowest growth index value (1.9) proving ideal resistant genotype against Callosobruchus theobromae. the genotype, Gl 139 was most preferred for growth and development of C. theobromae.
