Genetic study of indigenous pigeon pea germplasm of Chhattisgarh based on morphological characters and key insect pest’s larvae population

The present investigation was carried out College of Agriculture Raipur, IGKVV, Chhattisgarh. The experimental materials were used 100 local landraces of pigeon pea and three popular standard checks during Kharif 2018 in an Augmented RBD Design for 15 qualitative and 20 qualitative characters observations recorded and analysis of variance for characters showed differences for different characters and the result of major pigeon pea insect’s incidence 103 genotypes tested against different insect pests, 10 genotypes recorded most promising entries against key pest and 10 genotypes were recorded most susceptible entries against insect pest. A high coefficient of variation in the entire genotypes was observed for some traits.
