This study evaluated the biochemical changes in 15 chickpea genotypes artificially infested with pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner). Infested samples revealed significantly more phenols, malic acid and protein, and less reducing sugar contents. Significant differences among the genotypes for all the biochemicals were observed in the infested samples. These differences were influenced by genotype and pod damage both individually and together. Correlation analysis indicated significant associations of parameters with pod damage.
