Abstract:
Twenty different varieties / genotypes were screened against C. chinensis. On the basis of ovipositional preference chickpea varieties / genotpyes, Vishal, Gulabi and Avrodhi were found least preferred, whereas Mexican dollar and PKV-2 were more preferred for oviposition by C. chinensis. In respect of developmental preference and susceptibility, ICCV-2, Avrodhi, L-550, Gulabi, GG-2, Radha, KAK-2, Vihar, C-235, GJG-0305, Vishal and GG-4 were found less susceptible, while Mexican dollar, PKV-2 and JG-62 were found more susceptible varieties / genotypes to C. chinensis.
