At Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences research station, plants at the vegetative stage, especially the determinate types, were severely attacked by Maruca vitrata (10-12 webs per plant). Podfly and aphids were also noticed in early-maturing types; however, the damage level was only secondary. At Tiandeng, pigeon pea cultivars ICP 7035 and ICPL 87091 at the peak reproductive phase, sown on hilly slopes (approximately 200 m above the village), were infested with M. vitrata (10 larvae per plant) and Helicoverpa armigera (3-4 larvae per plant). Other insects, such as Mylabris spp., Euproctis sp., and Lamprosema sp., were of minor importance. In Taipin, Wuming, damage caused by mealy bugs and podfly was not economically important (
