Efficacy of Newer Molecules of Insecticides against Gram Pod Borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hub.) on Chickpea

Field study was conducted to determine the efficacy of Clothianidin 50 WDG, Indoxacarb, Flubendiamide 480 SC, Fipronil 5 SC, Spinosad 45 SC, Indoxacarb 14.5 SC, Rynaxypyr 20 SC, Chorpyriphos 20 EC against the surviving larval population of gram pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hub. ) on chickpea in the experimental research area of farmers field in Chandre village, Dist -Kolhapur during Rabi season 2009-10. In newer insecticides lowest number of surviving population of larvae was recorded in treatment Rynaxypyr 20 SC @ 40 g a. i. /ha 0.70 larvae/plant, highest yield recorded 15.00q/ha band lower pod damage recorded 8.10 per cent.
