The twenty eight varieties/ genotypes viz., Arka Anamika, Hari Kranti, VRO-22, EC-305609, EC 305718, EC 305731, EC-305769, EC-306697, EC-306700, EC-306703, EC-359637, EC-359957, EC-359969, EC-359995, EC-359898, EC-036001, IC-001543, IC-003769, IC-004328, IC-007952, IC-008991, IC-010265, IC-013917, IC-014026, IC014600, IC-015540 and IC-433641 were taken for screened on shoot and fruit borer infestation. There was none of the varieties/genotypes present in shoot and fruit borer resistant. The minimum shoot damage was recorded on variety Arka Anamika (1.90%) followed by VRO-22 (2.21), whereas the maximum shoot damage was recorded on genotypes IC-007952 (4.05%). The percent fruit damage revealed that the fruit damage ranged from 8.13 to 12.47 percent on different varieties/genotypes. The variety Arka Anamika was recorded lowest damage (8.13%) to fruits as compared to rest of the other varieties/genotypes in both the years.
