Screening of pigeonpea entries against pod borer and pod fly
Research Type
State Trial
Experiment Background
Pigeonpea (Cajanascajan (L.) Millsp.) is a principle crop grown for its protein-enriched seed in the Indian subcontinent. In India more than 150 insects have been reported on Pigeonpea crop. Pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) and pod fly, Melanagromyza btusa Malloch (Agromyzidae: Diptera) are the major pests of pigeonpea. The pod borer and pod fly cause the great economic damage in pigeonpea. Therefore, the present study will be proposed to find out sources of resistant to overcome pod borer and pod fly occurrence. Different genotype with susceptible check used for this purpose.
