abstract
The studies entitled ‘Effect of different dates of sowing on pod borer complex of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp)’ were conducted during 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. Effect of different sowing dates on pod borer complex revealed that 27^th June sowing date was observed to be more congenial for M. vitrata, E. atomosa and H. armigera (11.69, 10.05 and 12.07, respectively) while 13^th June sowing date was not congenial as it has revealed less damage by three pod borers (6.88, 5.70 and 7.20, respectively). However, pod fly infestation was highest in 30^th May sowing date (19.92) and was less in 27^th June sowing date (13.05).
