Abstract
With a view to know the susceptibility of green gram genotypes/varieties
to spotted pod borer, Maruca testulalis Geyer, an experiment was carried
out at Pulse Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh
during summer season of 2021. The lowest larval population of spotted pod borer
was recorded in GJM-1710 (4.32 larvae/plant), which was significantly lower
than those recorded in the other genotypes/varieties. The next promising
variety was GAM-5 (5.00). GJM-1821 (5.16), GJM-1803 (5.84), GJM-1703 (5.92) and
GJM-1837 (6.00) were found mediocre in their effectiveness as the spotted pod
borer population was higher in them. Variety GJM-1710 (2.08) was categorized
into a group of highly resistant (HR) and variety GAM-5 (2.23) and GJM-1821
(2.26) was categorized into a group of resistant (R). Genotypes/varieties:
GJM-1803 (2.40), GJM-1703 (2.43) and GJM-1837 (2.46) were categorized into a
group of moderately resistant (MR). In contrast, the green gram variety GM-4
(2.53) exhibited greater susceptibility to spotted pod borer infestation and
was therefore classified as moderately susceptible (MS). Meha (2.74) was
categorized into susceptible (S). GJM-1714 (2.97) and GJM-1818 (3.23) were
categorized into highly susceptible (HS).
