Antibiosis in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to gram pod borer, Heliothis armigera (Hubner) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) in IndiaC PSrivastavaauthorR PSrivastavaauthorAntibiosis in the Cicer arietinum genotypes ICCX-730041, ICC-10613, ICC-10817, ICCL-79048 (low susceptibility), C-235 (moderately susceptible) and K-850, ICC-1403 and IC-3137 (highly susceptible) against Heliothis armigera [Helicoverpa armigera] was studied in the laboratory at 26°C, LD 12:12 and 80% RH. There was a large variation between genotypes in larval survival (77-90%), larval and pupal weight (333-436 and 231-310 mg, resp.), egg viability (55-78.5%), adult longevity (8-10 and 10-12 days for males and females, resp.) and Howe's growth index (0.079-0.099). Larval weight contributed the most to the variation, followed by larval period, pupal weight and pupal periodChickpeaEntomology1990Association for Advancement of EntomologyArticle
