abstract
Field studies were undertaken to study the efficacy of molecule combinations viz., emamectin benzoate 5% + lufenuron 40% WG @ 27 (3 + 24) g a. i./ha, cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD + lufenuron 5.40% EC @ 5 + 3.75 g a.i./ha, chlorantraniliprole 10% + lambda-cyhalothrin 5% ZC @ 30 g a. i./ha, ethion 40% + cypermethrin 5% EC @ 400 + 50 g a. i./ha , chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 25 g a. i./ha, profenofos 40% + cypermethrin 4% EC @ 440 + 660 g a. i./ha, novaluron 5.25% + indoxacarb 4.50% SC @ 43.31 + 37.13 g a. i./ha against gram pod borer, H. armigera during Rabi season 2020-21. The results revealed that emamectin benzoate 5% + lufenuron 40% WG (0.82 larvae/meter row length) was most superior to reduce the H. armigera population in chickpea , the next effective treatment was chlorantraniliprole 10% + lambda-cyhalothrin 5% ZC (1.13 larvae/meter row length), followed by cyantraniliprole 10.26% OD + lufenuron 5.40% EC (1.26 larvae/meter row length). Rest of the treatments were also effective in reducing larval population of H. armigera (1.33 -1.82 larvae/meter row length) as compared to untreated control (2.98 larvae/meter row length).
