Screening of germplasm on mungbean against pod borer complex

Abstract

Screening of germplasm of mungbean against pod borer complex was carried out during Kharif 2023 at the Research cum Instructional Farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Raipur (C.G.). Among the 62 germplasm of mungbean, OBGG 110 observed the least pod damage (0.50%) caused by Helicoverpa armigera, whereas BM 4 observed least pod damage (1.00%) by Maruca vitrata. KM 2241 had maximum grain production of mungbean at 1225.00 kg/ha, followed by RMG1183 at 1145.00 kg/ha. Similarly, 9 germplasm are categorized under moderately resistant category followed by 21 germplasm under tolerant category, 27 germplasm are categorized under equal to check and 5 germplasm under moderately susceptible category. No germplasm was found to be under immune, highly resistant, resistant, susceptible and highly susceptible category.
