Abstract:
The field trial was conducted at the Central Research Farm (CRF), SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj during rabi season 2021. Consists of eight treatments including control viz, T₁- Novaluron 10 EC, T₂- Flubendiamide 480 SC, T₃ - Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC, T₄- Spinosad 45 SC, T₅- HaNPV, T₆ NSKE 5%, T₇- Bacillus thuringiensis and T₀- untreated control in RBD with three replications targeting to evaluate the efficacy of selected insecticides on the incidence of H. armigera on Chickpea. Data was taken on per cent pod damage of chickpea pod borer. The per cent pod damage of chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera on third, seventh and fourteen days after spraying revealed that the treatment Spinosad 45 SC (7.25%) found superior followed by Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC (8.76%), Novaluron 10 EC (9.79%), Flubendiamide 480 SC (11.49%), HaNPV (13.20%), Bacillus thuringiensis (14.48%) and NSKE 5% (14.81%) as compared to control (21.38%). When the cost benefit ratio was worked out, the results were quite interesting. Among the treatments studied, the best and most economical treatment was Spinosad 45 SC (1:2.41), followed by Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC (1:2.37), Novaluron 10 EC (1:2.31), Flubendiamide 480 SC (1:2.15), HaNPV (1:1.97), Bacillus thuringiensis (1:1.77) and NSKE 5% (1:1.69) as compared to Control (1:1.26).
