Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the important pulse crops of Rajasthan and grown almost throughout the State.. As reviewed by Srivastava (1964) various insect pests of this crop are on record from different parts of the country. But as the available literature shows, no systematic survey has so far been made from this State. Casual reports on the occurrence of some specific pests of pea are available from Rajasthan. The systematic survey of the pea pests reported in this, was made from the year 1966-1968. The insects collected from the different areas were reared in the laboratory and sent for identification. The present paper embodies the information regarding the pests attacking pea from seedling to the harvest of the crop along with the descriptions of some major and the minor pests.
