Abstract

A laboratory investigation was carried out to determine the impact of host plant resistant of chickpea seeds in stored conditions against Callosobruchus chinensis Linn. The promising genotypes viz. JAKI 9218, NBeG 119, JGK 2, IG 72933, RVG 204, JG 14, PI 599066, NBeG 47, NBeG 3, VIHAR, KAK 2, ICC 506 EB, ICCC 37, IG 72953, ICCV 2 of chickpea were obtained from ICRISAT, Hyderabad. The chickpea, Cicer arietinum L. (Fabaccae) seeds of chickpea are vulnerable, both in the field and in storage, to attack by pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis. Beetles of the genus Callosobruchus are the major storage insect pest in chickpea crops and cause can economic losses. In this study evaluated chickpea genotypes for resistance to the pulse beetles were clearly showed that only one of genotypes PI 599066, exhibited a complete resistance to C. chinensis in both free choice and no-choice tests among the test genotypes, no seed damage was found over the test period and which can be used as a source of C. chinensis resistance in breeding programmes that could then grown in organic cultivation free from pesticides.
