Screening of Fieldpea (Pisum sativum L.) Genotype against Pod Borer Complex

Eighteen field pea genotypes were evaluated to know their reaction to pod borer complex (Helicoverpa armigera, Etiella zinckenella and Polyommatus boeticus). Sixteen genotypes (HFP-1140, HFP-914, HFP-1120 and HFP-530B, HFP-1129, HFP-1010, HFP-1125, HFP-715, HFP-4, HFP-9907B, HFP-1132, HFP-1107, HFP-1137, HFP-8712, HFP-8909 and HFP-529) were categorized as moderately resistant to E. zinckenella. However, Three genotypes (HFP-1137, HFP-530B and HFP-529) were examined as resistant (PSR 2), thirteen genotypes as moderately resistant (PSR 3-5) and one genotype (HFP-8712) as highly susceptible (PSR-8) against H. armigera. On the consequences of Pest Susceptibility Rating (PSR) six genotypes (HFP-1132, HFP-1129, HFP-1010, HFP-914, HFP-1125 and HFP-8712) were observed as highly susceptible (PSR: 8-9) P. boeticus.
