ABSTRACT
Fifty three pigeon pea genotypes were screened against leaf webbber, G. critica of which 11 genotypes were from Multilocation trial Medium duration (MLT-MD), 18 genotypes from All India Crop Improvement Project (AICRP) trials and 24 genotypes from International Crops Research Institute for Semi-arid Tropics (ICRISAT) trials. Under MLT-MD trials the variety Asha and TS 3R C4 (2.67 webs/ 5 plants) recorded the lowest number of webs. In AICRP trials the lowest number of webs per five plants was observed in RVSA 81 (1.33 webs/ 5 plants), Rajeev lochan, P-703 (2.00 webs/
5 plants), RVSA 34, RVSA 64, WRG 157 and WRG 98 (2.33 webs/ 5 plants). The leaf webbber population in genotypes under ICRISAT trials ranged from 2.33 webs / 5 plants in ICPHRL 4979-7 to 4.67 webs / 5 plants in ICPHRL 4985-1 and ICP-7035.
