Biology and bionomics of Pigeonpea pod bug, Clavigralla gibbosa Spinola on Pigeonpea variety viz., Saket was studied during Kharif-2018 at RVSKVV, Gwalior (M.P.) under laboratory condition at the room temperature 28 ± 2 oC and relative humidity 72-75 per cent from October to November. Eggs were laid in clusters in the batches of 5-40 eggs. The incubation period was varied from 5-7 days with an average of 5.80±0.79 days. The total nymphs duration was varied from 15-21 days with an average of 17.70±2.06 days. Total adult life of male varied from 3-28 days with an average of 15.20±0.9.43 days and that of a female range from 5-35 days with an average of 22.40±10.05 days. Total life cycle was completed in 17-30 days with an average of 23.60±3.63 days. The results revealed that the pre-oviposition, ovipositon and post-oviposition period varied from 2-14, 5-20 and 4-18 days with an averaged 7.80±3.58, 12.10±5.13 and 9.40±4.01 days, respectively. The fecundity was 20-19 eggs with an average of 101.40±66.59 per female, respectively.
