Title: Germplasm screening against major insect pests in field pea
Abstract: Among 50 field pea germplasm screened leaf miner, aphid and pod borer were recorded as major insect pests. The population of leaf miner and aphid were observed 20 DAS while pod borer at 50% flowering till harvesting of the crop which ranged in leaf miner, aphid and pod borer from 12.0 to 22.80, 19.33 to 20.80 and 0.17 to 4.47 respectively. Forty eight out of 50 germplasm screened against leaf miner fell under resistant category while two germplasm were found moderately resistant. All the 50 germplasm screened against aphid fell under moderately resistant category. Maximum pod borer population of 4.47/5 plants was found in the germplasm VL 58 and Pant P 195. Lowest population of 0.17 pod borer/ 5 plants was recorded in the germplasm IPFD 12-2 and RG 3.
