Studies on the varietal resistance of 20 test lines of chickpea against gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hb.) showed that only one cultivar i.e. 1230 was resistant to H. armigera (Hb.). Three cultivars viz. 932, 1084 and 4001 were moderately resistant to the pest attack. while rest of the cultivars were moderately susceptible. Though a cultivar , C-44. was found to be moderately 't susceptible but it gave the maximum mean yield despite considerable pod damage. This was probably due to its high potential for yield. ~ •• Key words: chickpea.Helicoverpa armigera, varietal resistance
