Abstract: The present study indicates that pod fly under the condition of Khargone region had severely affected the pigeonpea crop. Pigeonpea pod fly was appeared late in crop season. Pigeonpea pod fly (Melanagromyzaobtusa) was identified at harvesting stage in different varieties. Highest pod damage in Pusa 16 (23.33%) and lowest damage in TJT- 501 (14.67%). Grain damage by Pod fly highest in Pusa 16 and lowest in TJT-501 and followed by JKM-189 (T5), Rajeevlochan (T6), Rajeshwari (T4), GJP-1 (T3), Pusa 992 (T2), and Pusa 16 (T1) last week of January 2021.
