Abstract
The field experiment was carried out at Student’s Instructional Farm (SIF) of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur Uttar Pradesh. Screening of mungbean genotypes against pod borer complex during zaid 2024 and 2025. The germplasm KM 2450 was found most effective or promising in suppressing the pod borer complex and produced maximum yield 9.18 q/ha. followed by IPM 311(9.06), NDM1911(8.89), KM2452(8.63), IPM406(8.58), KM2328(8.54) and IPM023 (8.39 q/ha). Among 19 genotypes ten were categorized as moderately resistant which have 25 to 75% pest susceptibility against pod borer complex of mungbean. These were KM2450, KM2328, IPM023, KM2438, KM2452, IPM311, NDM1911, KM2439, IPM406 and PDM139.
