Screening for resistance to gram pod borer, Heliothis armigera (Hubner), in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes and observations on its mechanism of resistance in India
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2011
Abstract
Eight desi chickpea genotypes of mid-maturity group were screened by using an open-field screening technique. The genotypes ICC-3137, K-850 and ICC-1403 were found to be more susceptible than the others. More eggs were laid and more larvae were recorded on more susceptible genotypes. A low amount of acidity in the leaf extracts of genotypes was found to be associated with susceptibility to gram pod borer, Heliothis armigera (Hubner).
Résumé
Huit variétés de pois-chiche (type Desi) ont été testées pour leur résistance à Heliothis armigera (Lepid. Noctuidae) en plein champs. Les génotypes ICC 3137, K 850 et ICC 1403 se sont avérés les plus sensibles anx attaques de l'insecte. Les variétés présentant une résistance vis à vis de l'insecte sont caractérisées par des exudations foliaires plus acides que celles des variétés plus sensibles.
