Results revealed that, the mean incidence of cashew thrips was varied from 6.17 to 13.59% with a mean damage score of 0.25 to 0.54 on all the stages of nut. None of cultivars were found promising against cashew thrips. The cultivar, Vengurla-5 and Vengurla-1 were less susceptible against the leaf miner, Acrocercops syngramma Meyrick with a 4.38 and 6.54% leaf damage, while, Vengurla-3, Hy-320, Bapatla 10/19 and Vengurla-6 were found highly susceptible. The performance of cultivars against apple and nut borer showed that the Bapatla 3/33 had least (4.50%) apple and nut damage, whereas, higher infestation was observed in Vengurla-6 (20.50%) during fruiting stage of cashew.
