Abstract


Studies have been made on the varietal resistance of bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) to the leafhopper Amrasca devastans. A total of twenty five varieties was screened under field conditions. The varieties A. E. 15, Pusa Sawani and A. E. 30 were found to be resistant to the leaf hopper. The leaf hopper incidence was more during the North-East monsoon season than during cold weather season.
