none Gram pod borer, Heliothis armigera (Hubner) attacks gram crop severely at flowering and fruiting stages and parasitism by Campoletis chlorideae is also higher at this time. JG-64 and JG-62 were least susceptible and Kheri was the most susceptible gram variety for the pod borer at vegetative stage but at pod stage Gulabi, Ujjain-21 and Ujjain-24 varieties were more heavily attacked. Incidence of the pest and parasite were correlated.
