Abstract

The experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi during the kharif seasons of 2014–15 to evaluate the losses caused by major insect pests in long duration pigeon pea. The study revealed that the highest pod and grain damage was caused by pod fly i.e. 40.33 & 18.31 per cent respectively and by pod bug 39.33 & 16.65 per cent respectively in genotype PUSA -9, while minimum pod and grain damage 18.00 & 7.23 per cent and 11.33 & 3.95 per cent respectively was recorded in genotype MA -3. The per cent pod and grain damage caused by Helicoverpa armigera was highest in genotype Bahar (9.00 & 2.52%) and minimum in genotype MA- 3 (1.33 & 0.46. kg ha−1).
