Abstract:
Field testing against pod borer and pod fly of 30 genotypes and cultivars revealed that RPS 2008-5, RPS 2008-4, and RPS 2007-109 were less infested by pod borer complexes and pod fly and produced higher grain yields. There was no significant relationship noticed between plant height, growth habit, pod length, pod breadth & days to maturity and borer complex and pod fly infestation, whereas, highly negative correlation was observed between morphological characters viz. pod wall thickness, calyx trichome length, calyx trichome density and pod trichome density against pod borer and pod fly infestation.
