Abstract
Ten long duration pigeonpea genotypes/varieties were screened for their reaction against major insect pests infestation of pigeonpea during 2015-16 at the Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (U.P.), India. The per cent pod damage due to major insect pests varied significantly among the different cultivars. The highest grain damage by insects was seen in KA-12-2 while the lowest grain damage was observed in BAHAR. The grain yield of different genotypes/varieties also differed significantly and ranged from 658 kg/ha in the genotype KA-12-2 to 1200 kg/ha in BAHAR.
