Present study was carried out on chickpea to find out the incidence of pod borer as well as monitoring of pod borer at Pulses Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh (Gujarat) during Rabi seasons 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14. The results revealed that larval population of Helicoverpa armigera was varied from 0.86 to 2.55 larvae/mrl at 30 DAS. More or less similar pattern was observed at 45 and 75 DAS, while larval population varied from 1.45 to 3.20 and 1.26 to 3.02 larvae/mrl, respectively. At 60 DAS treatment D2V1 noted lowest larval population (0.58 larvae/mrl). The treatment D1V3 recorded the lowest pod damage of 3.66, 3.95, 4.03 and 3.88 per cent in 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 and pooled results, respectively. Seed yield was varied from 825 to 1612 kg/ha. The activity of male moths began from 50th standard week of December to 9th standard week of February / March. The peak period was observed from 1st standard week to 4th standard week of January.
