A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2016-17 at Horticulture Instructional Farm of Chamanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University Sardarkrushinagar, Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and twelve genotypes JCh 722, JCh 725, JCh 740, JCh 754, JCh 756, JCh 759, JCh 784, JCh 788, JCh 800, GCh 1, GCh 2, GCh 3 is local cultivar of chilli. Out of twelve different genotypes of chilli, genotype GCh 3 and GCh 2 were resistant against aphid and yellow mite. The genotype GCh 3 and GCh 1 showed resistant against whitefly and fruit borer. The genotype viz., GCh 1, GCh 2, and GCh 3 were found to be resistant against leafhopper. The genotype GCh 3 was found resistant against thrips, while eleven genotypes were grouped under susceptible category.
