Abstract

Thirty four varieties of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonaloba) were screened and none was found immune or resistant. Among fourteen varieties which were found tolerant (gall index 3.0 and 2 to 15 galls per plant), RGC-760 had only two galls and two egg masses per plant. Moderately susceptible varieties were six in number (3.4 gall index and 16 to 20-5 galls per plant). Remaining varieties were susceptible to highly susceptible (gall index of 3.6 and galls ranging from 21.5 to 45 per plants).
