Screening Pigeon Pea, Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp., Against Major Insect Pests

Screening pigeon pea germplasm against insect pests and the development of resistant varieties/hybrids require entomological and plant breeding techniques. Research on the development of tolerant or resistant varieties have been initiated by scientists toward a sustainable pest control strategy. This chapter focuses on the screening techniques in pigeon pea for host plant resistance against major pests.
