Abstract
Abstract Damage is caused by Odontotermes obesus (Rambur) and Microtermes obesi Holmgren to perennial pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in south India. O. obesus attacked the root, stem and some branches under an earthen sheet. M. obesi damaged the root and pith, making irregular, soil‐filled cavities, which were indicated by cracked bark near the stem base. The two species were sometimes associated. Termite damage increased after the rainy season until the end of summer. 2‐year‐old plants were killed by the combined effects of root disease, termite attack and drought.
