Reaping the Potential of Wild <i>Cajanus</i> Species through Pre-Breeding for Improving Resistance to Pod Borer, <i>Helicoverpa armigera,</i> in Cultivated Pigeonpea (<i>Cajanus cajan</i> (L.) Millsp.)

Reaping the Potential of Wild <i>Cajanus</i> Species through Pre-Breeding for Improving Resistance to Pod Borer, <i>Helicoverpa armigera,</i> in Cultivated Pigeonpea (<i>Cajanus cajan</i> (L.) Millsp.)

Pod borer (<i>Helicoverpa armigera</i>) causes the highest yield losses in pigeonpea, followed by pod fly (<i>Melanagromyza obtusa</i>). High levels of resistance to pod borer are not available in the cultivated genepool. Several accessions of wild <i>Cajanus</i>...
