Screening of Indian bean genotypes/cultivars against major insect pests

Abstract

The investigations on varietal screening against pest complex of Indian bean were carried out at College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat during year, 2019-20. Out of 10 genotypes/cultivars of Indian bean screened for their relative resistance against major insect pests, the genotype/cultivar NI-09-261 and GNIB-21 were found resistant whereas, Guj.Wal-2, NI-07-153, NI-05-26 and NI-06-74 were found susceptible against aphid. NI-09-261and NI-08-198 were found resistant while, GNIB-21,Guj.Wal-1 and GNIB-22 susceptible against jassid. NI-09-261and NI-07-153 were found resistant whereas, GNIB-22, Guj.Wal-2 and Guj.Wal-125-36 were found susceptible against whitefly. While, Guj.Wal-1 and NI-05-26 were found resistant and NI-08-198, Guj.Wal-125-36 and NI-09-261 were found susceptible against pod borers.
