Two hundred and fifty chickpea germplasm were evaluated against beet army worm Spodopteraexigua during the year 2013-14 and 2014-15. Eighteen promising chickpea genotypes with low levels of susceptibility were selected Among the 250 germplasms tested, and screened for three consecutive years viz., 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 for confirmation of tolerance against the insect pest under natural field conditions at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Nandyal, Andhra Pradesh. Three years poled data indicated that low plant infestation was recorded in NBeG 440, Phule G 405 and GJG 1107 with 9.63, 11.94 and 15.11 percent, respectively. The genotype NBeG 440 was categorized as highly resistant to S. exigua with pest susceptibility index of 75.38 percent. The genotypes Phule G 405, GJG 1107, RSG 963, Phule G 12110, RSG 888, NBeG 49, NBeG 453, RSG 931, BONG 804, ICCL 86111, NDG 12-23, NBeG 451, IPC 2010-181, Phule G 12407, NBeG 177 and JG 11 were categorized as least susceptible to S. exigua. Maximum grain yield was recorded in NBeG 451 (1908 kg/ha) as against low yield of 364 kg/ha in ICC 3137.
