The tuber damage by red ant ranged between 28.77 and 46.92% and yield loss ranged from 30.98 to 49.39%. The tuber damage by cutworm ranged from 8.42 to 18.87% and yield loss varied between 13.07 and 23.50%. Kufri sindhuri and Kufri badshah were the most resistant varieties against red ant and cutworm, while Kufri anand and Kufri chipsona-II were revealed as the most susceptible ones. Kufri chipsona-II recorded the lowest tuber damage by wireworm with 0.86% as well as with 3.85% yield loss, whereas the highest was recorded in Kufri pukhraj with 3.17% and 8.62%, respectively.
