        abstract = {Pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H{\"u}bner) is the single largest yield reducing factor in food legumes. Worldwide, pod borer causes an estimated loss of over \$2 billion annually, despite over \$1 billion value of insecticides used to control this devastating pest. In pigeonpea(Cajanuscajan(L.) Millsp.), an important food grain legume crop of the semi-arid tropics, Helicoverpa armigera causes maximum yield losses (25-70\%) followed by pod fly, Melanagromyzaobtusa(10-50\%), Marucavitrata(5-25\%) and pod bug, Clavigrallagibbosa(10-30\%). High levels of resistance to pod borer is not available in the cultivated genepool, which necessitates the exploitation of new anddiverse sources of variations.}
