Abstract
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.
