Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during summer, 2021 and 2022 at Anand Agricultural University, Anand to screen ten different genotypes/varieties of okra against insect pests. The results indicated that the genotype, AOL 20-03 recorded minimum incidence of jassid, whitefly, mite, shoot and fruit damage due to shoot and fruit borer, Earias vittella and fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera and categorized as resistant. Whereas, maximum incidence of sucking pest viz., jassid, whitefly and mite were recorded in genotypes, GAO 5 and AOL 16-01 and categorized as susceptible. The genotype, AOL 16-01 was found susceptible against infestation of lepidopteran pest viz., E. Vittella and H. armigera.
