Abstract

Among the 50 pigeonpea germplasm a wide range of variation of pod (18.33 to 47.00%) and seed (16.43 to 48.44%) damage by lepidopterus pod borers were recorded with average mean of 30.68 and 31.69%, respectively. On the basis of pooled mean, two lines viz., ICP 2514 (18.33%) and ICP 2454 (19.33%) reveal resistance against the pod damage caused by pod fly, respectively whereas, based on seed damage ICP 2459 (16.43%) and ICP 2155(18.62%) were categorized as resistant.
