abstract
A field experiment was carried on chickpea during 2017-18 at Central Research Farm and Department of Entomology SHUATS, Naini, Allahabad (U.P). Different integrated approaches viz., Bacillus thuringiensis (2 kg/ha), Ha NPV (500 LE/ha), neem seed kernel extract (2.0 ml/lit), chickpea + coriander, hand picking+ Bt (3 times+2 kg/ha), weeding + hand picking + indoxacarb (3 times+3 times + 2 kg/ha) and indoxacarb (350 ml/ha) was evaluated on gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera. The data on the percentage pod damage of different integrated approaches revealed that the treatment indoxacarb (1.98), followed by weeding + hand picking + indoxacarb (1.76), NSKE (2.89), Bacillus thuringiensis (2.63), Ha NPV (2.18), hand picking + Bt (2.11), chickpea + coriander (3.05) found to be more economically viable treatment.
