ABSTRACT

The studies on the ovipositional behaviour of tur pod bug were carried on pigeonpea varieties viz., Paras, Manak, H03-41 and UPAS120 under screen house at College of Agriculture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University from mid October 2013 to January 2014.Total number of eggs laid on leaves, flower buds, flower and pods were recorded till the end of season.Maximum number of eggs were laid on variety Paras (67.33 eggs/plant) and it was statistically on par with variety Manak (64.16 eggs) and these were significantly superior and preferred by C. gibbosa than H03-41 (39.33) and UPAS 120 (57.00). The maximum eggs were observed on UPAS 120 and minimum on H03-41. In case of stem, eggs laying was zero in all varieties.
Keywords: Clavigralla gibbosa, Ovipositional behaviour, Pigeonpea.
