SUMMARY
Bio efficacy of newer insecticides was studied against Helicoverpa armigera in chickpea. Novaluron 10 EC was found as superior against H. armigera wrt minimum number of larvae. However, flubendiamide proved significantly superior in terms of minimum pod damage (21.71%), maximum reduction over control (41.18%) and highest yield (3409.26 kg/ha). Next best chemicals with reduction over control were emamectin benzoate 5SG (9.77%), chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC (39.55%), flubendiamide 8.33 + deltamethrin 5.56SC (36.95%), novaluron 10EC (36.33%), novaluron 5.25+ indoxacarb 4.50SC (34.11%), quinalphos 25EC (32.48%) and lambda-cyhalothrin 5EC (22.08%).
Key words: Helicoverpa armigera, pod damage, bioefficacy and newer insecticides
