An experiment on screening of different pigeonpea genotypes conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Lam, Guntur during Kharif, 2014 revealed that based on per cent pod and grain damage five genotypes viz., LRG 30, LRG 41, ICPL 87119, ICP 8863 and BSMR 853were grouped under resistant category and nine genotypes viz., TDRG 33, Guliyal local, WRP 1, CO 6, LRG134, RVSA 9, SKNP 224, ICPL 4503 and WRG 79 were grouped under susceptible category against H. armigera. Further, four genotypes ENT 11, CRG 210-09, PT 04-307 and BRG 10-2 exhibited resistance against pod damage but showed susceptibility towards grain damage. While, the reaction was vice versa in genotype Kanpur local. Similarly, based on per cent pod and grain damage five genotypes viz., LRG 30, LRG 41, ICPL 87119, ICP 8863 and BSMR 853were grouped under resistant category and nine genotypes viz., Guliyal local, WRP 1, CO 6, LRG 134, ENT 11, SKNP 224, Kanpur local, CRG 2010-09 and BRG 10-2 were grouped under susceptible category against M. vitrata. Further, five genotypes viz., TDRG 33, RVSA 9, ICPL 4503, WRG 79 and PT 04-307 exhibited resistance against pod damage but showed susceptibility towards grain damage. None of the genotype showed susceptibility to pod damage and resistance to grain damage against M. vitrata.
