The effect of different intercropping on the larval population of gram pod borer in chickpea was assessed on the basis of pod borer larvae and yield (q/ha). The chickpea intercropped with coriander recorded minimum number of pod borer larvae per meter row and maximum yield (q/ha) of chickpea followed by chickpea + mustard, chickpea + pea and chickpea + linseed. All the intercropping combinations scored lesser population of pod borer and higher yield as compared to the chickpea sole crop.
