Reduction of Chickpea Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera L.) Population by Application of Selected Insecticides and Bio Pesticides| Chapter 5 | Cutting Edge Research in Biology Vol. 1

 Chickpea pod drill (Helicoverpa armigera L.) has reported expected the most hazardous and notorious contagion infesting upon the chickpea plant and acquiring heavy deficits. Chickpea is one of the main crops grown everywhere Uttar Pradesh and the farmers in these domains are facing a bigger issue related to the disease of chickpea pod borer. Keeping it visible, the present research was transported at the Central Research Field of Department of Agricultural Entomology, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during the Rabi season of 2021-22. Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, Karanj Oil, Neem Oil, Spinosad, Emamectin benzoate + Indoxacarb, and Indoxacarb were the cures employed in the study. The results displayed that Emamectin benzoate 5% SG + Indoxacarb 14.5% SC (73.57%) had the largest portion reduction in basic population and was ultimate effective at lowering the larval populace. It is then understood by Spinosad 45% SC (65.03%), Indoxacarb 14.5% SC (59.02%), Beauveria bassiana (1x108 cfu) (54.87%), Metarhizium anisopliae (1x108 cfu) (50.92%), Neem Oil 2% (45.81%) and Karanj Oil 2% (37.53%). The incorporation of botanicals accompanying that of the novel insecticides has proved expected a beneficial individual and also pushing up the sustainable land practices.
