However, lac production on annual shrubs like Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. is a new venture in Madhya Pradesh. The preference of lac insect for type of branch on C. cajan for its settlement is not reported. The present two year field trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar nutrient application on C. cajan for preferential selection of branches by Kerria lacca Kerr. Lac insects of baisakhi crop of rangeeni lac was reared on C. cajan in the year 2019-20 and 2020-21.
