Abstract
In order to assess cluster bean genotypes against the major insect during the kharif 2022, Nine cluster bean genotypes were investigated in a randomised block design with three replications: T1 - RGr 20-7, T2 - GD-567, T3 - HG 2-20 (ch), T4 - CAZG 17-4-5, T5 - RGC 1066 (ch), T6 - GD-565, T7 - RGR 20-15, T8 - RGC 1033 (ch), and T9 - X-25. Aphid, whitefly, jassid, and thrips minimum infestation were found in genotype GD-565, which was succeeded by CAZG 17-4-5. Whereas, Aphid, whitefly, jassid, and thrips populations reached their maximum in genotype RGC 1066 (ch). The GD-565 genotype was shown to be the best appropriate for growing in Madhya Pradesh's Gird area.
