Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is the sixth most important cereal crop and widely grown on 30 million ha in the arid and semi-arid tropical regions of Asia and Africa. Shoot fly, Atherigona approximata Malloch and ear head worm Helicoverpa armigera Hubner are the key pests of pearl millet and can reduce yield up to 15-20 and 36.67%, respectively. The present study was planned to evaluate 31 promising genotypes for resistance to A. approximata and H. armigera. GHB-744 and HHB-67 were found free from A. approximata infestation while the Raj-171 (3.13%), GHB-732 (3.71%), AHB-1200 (4.30%), GHB-905 (4.41%), Kaveri Super Boss (4.44%) and MPMH-21 (4.81%) were found moderately resistant to A approximata at 28 days after germination. Likewise, AHB-1200 (1.33 larvae/ 5 ear heads) followed by GHB-732 (1.67 larvae/ 5 ear heads) and GHB-905 (2.00 larvae/ 5 ear heads) were found moderately resistant to H. armigera.
