abstract
Ten different groundnut varieties were used for relative susceptibility to c. serratus. The test varieties were grouped into three categories as resistance, moderately resistance, susceptible, moderately susceptible and highly susceptible. The variety JL-24 recorded minimum egg count (81.75 eggs), moderately resistance (5.00), high mean development period (77.00 days) and minimum weight loss (45.29%). While physical parameters recorded by the JL-24 groundnut variety were high shell thicknesses (0.94 mm) with low inter pod space (45.77 cc). whereas, RHRG-1135 variety recorded highest egg count (105.50 egg), high index of susceptibility (6.17), lowest mean development period (67.50 days) and maximum weight loss (52.16%). The physical parameters recorded by the RHRG-1135 groundnut variety were low shell thickness. The lowest number of adults 57.75 emerged from JL-24 while the highest number of adults was recorded from RHRG-1135 (80.25).
