The field experiment was conducted to evaluate different genotypes of mustard against mustard sawfly (Athelia proxima) and Leaf webber (Crocidolomia binotalis) during Rabi season of 2015-2016 at College of Agriculture, Nagpur (Dr. PDKV, Akola). The Trail was laid out in randomized block design with fifteen treatments and three replications. The results were found to be statistically significant. The significantly lowest larval population of mustard sawfly was recorded in Geeta (2.32 per plant) and it was at par with Seeta, Laxmi, Varuna, Ashirvad and GM-2. Whereas maximum population of mustard sawfly was recorded on the genotype ACN-9 (11.32 per plant) which was at par with Sej-2, Pusa bold, Urvashi, Bio-902, Pusabahar, Kranti and Rohini, respectively. The mean larval population of leaf webber (at 30, 60 and 90 DAS) in all genotypes of mustard was observed in the range of 2.73 to 11.60 per plant. However, the minimum population of leaf webber larvae was recorded in ACN-9 (2.73 per plant) and found statistically at par with GM-2, Seeta, Kranti, Bio 902, Ashirvad, Rohini and Vardan, Whereas, maximum leaf webber larvae were recorded on the genotype Varuna (11.60 per plant) which was at par with Pusa bold, Laxmi, Geeta, Sej-2 and Urvashi
