| Abstract: | Nineteen promising soyabean cultivars were tested for resistance in girdle beetle infested and protected environments during 1994-96 at Mandsaur. A protective environment was created by spraying endosulfan at 0.07% on the 30, 45 and 60-day-old crop. Information on pods/plant, seeds/plant and yield/plant was recorded along with percentage incidence of pest damage. Infestation ranged from 11.40% (Bragg) to 44.42% (MACS58). The greatest reduction in seed yield (39.06%) was noted in JS335 and was least in NRC2 (15.78%). Although Bragg recorded the least infestation it had a high reduction of yield components in the unprotected environment. NRC2 recorded a higher plant infestation (32.71%) but had a minimum reduction in yield. |
