Screening of different chickpea varieties against termite infestation

Amar Chand, HL Deshwal, Abhishek Yadav and Renu Chaudhary

The susceptibility of different chickpea varieties were evaluated based on the per cent termite damaged plants. Out of the ten chickpea varieties, the lowest 10.91 per cent termite damaged plants were observed in variety RSG-807 followed by RSG-991 (12.31) and GNG-663 (13.32). The highest termite damaged plants were observed in GNG-1488 (34.09) followed by GNG-1581 (29.09) and RSG-973 (28.97). In other varieties termite damaged plants were varied from 18.14 to 24.81 per cent. Based on per cent termite damaged plants, chickpea varieties RSG-807, RSG-901 and GNG-663 in which the termite damaged plants were noticed less than 13.42 per cent and categorized as resistant. However, GNG-2144, CSJ-515, GNG-2171 and CSJD-884 recorded less than 28.88 but more than 13.42 per cent termite damaged plants considered as susceptible varieties whereas, RSG-973, GNG-1581 and GNG-1488 had more than 28.88 per cent termite damaged plants and categorized as highly susceptible.
