Evaluation of Medium Maturity Pigeonpea Genotypes for Resistance to Pod Borer Complex

The present investigation was conducted during Kharif 2022-23 at the experimental area of Department of Entomology, AICRP on Pigeonpea, Research cum Instructional Farm, IGKV, Raipur, (C.G.). The aim of the study was to screen the different pigeonpea genotypes against pod borer complex. The different pigeonpea genotypes were screened against pod borer complex which showed significant difference between tested genotypes on different parameters viz., percent pod damage and grain yield. Genotypes CG Arhar-2 (19 per cent), showed least affected by pod borers and RPS-15-50 (40.00 %) was found most affected by pod borers. The highest grain yield was observed in CG Arhar-2 (1927.78 kg/ha) and lowest grain yield was observed in RPS-15-21 (875 kg/ha)).
