The experiment was carried out at the research plot of the Department of Agricultural Entomology and Central Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, during Kharif from July to November 2022 in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Eight treatments were evaluated against, Leucinodes orbonalis i.e., Spinosad 45% SC (0.5ml/L), Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (0.5ml/L), Flubendiamide 480 SC (0.4ml/L), Emamectin benzoate 5 SG (0.4gm/L), Indoxacarb 14.5% SC (0.25ml/L), Neem oil 5% (50ml/L), Beauveria bassiana (1X108 CFU/gm) 1.15 % WP (2.5gm/L), Control in RBD with three replications. The data on the percent infestation of shoot and fruit borer on brinjal 3rd, 7th, and 14th day after first and second spray reveal that all the chemical treatments were significantly superior over control. The lowest infestation was recorded in Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (12.45) (9.78), Spinosad 45% SC (13.56) (10.43), Emamectin benzoate 5 SG (14.68) (11.39), Indoxacarb 14.5% Sc (15.34) (12.38), Flubendiamide 480 SC (16.26) (13.30), Beauveria bassiana (1X108 CFU/gm) 1.15% WP (16.84) (14.56), Neem oil 5% (19.46) (15.52). The best yield and most economical treatment was Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (220.5q/ha) (1:8.3) which was par with Spinosad 45% SC (195.30q/ha) (1:7.7) followed by Emamectin benzoate 5 SG (172.50q/ha) (1:6.8), Indoxacarb 14.5 SC (165.35q/ha) (1:6.5), Flubendiamide 480SC (142.33q/ha) (1:5.3), Beauveria bassiana (1X108 CFU/gm) 1.15 % WP (130.40q/ha) (1:5.2) and Neem oil 5% (125.50q/ha) (1:5.04) as compared to control (90.00q/ha) (1:3.72). The yields among the treatment were significant.

The research work was undertaken at Central Research Farm (CRF) Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Naini, Prayagraj during Rabi season in 2022- 23. Experiment consists of eight treatments including control viz. Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC @ 0.3ml/lit, Emamectin benzoate 1.9 EC @ 5ml/lit, Bacillus thurigiensis 1x109 CFU/ml @ 2.5g/lit, Spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3ml/lit, Indoxcarb 14.5 SC @ 0.5ml/lit, Metarhizium anisiopilae 1x109 CFU/ml @ 2.5gm/lit, Beauvaria bassiana 1.15 % WP @ 2.5gm/lit and untreated control in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Data was taken on the mean larval population of chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera on third, seventh and fourteen days after spray. Spraying revealed that the treatment Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC (2.36) found to be superior followed by Spinosad 45 SC (2.70), Emamectin benzoate 1.9EC (2.77), Indoxcarb 14.5 SC (2.98), Bacillus thurigiensis 1x109 CFU/ml (3.17), Beauvaria bassiana 1.15% WP (3.45), Metarhizium anisiopilae 1x109 CFU/ml (3.79) was found to be least effective among all the treatments as compared to control (5.64). Based on yield and cost benefit ratio the best and most economical treatment was Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC (26.83 q/ha) (1:3.49), followed by Spinosad 45SC (23.08 q/ha) (1:2.83), Emamectin benzoate 1.9EC(20.03q/ha) (1:2.66), Bacillus thurigiensis 1x109 CFU/ml (17.50 q/ha) (1:2.32), Indoxcarb 14.5 SC (17.66 q/ha) (1:2.29), Beauvaria bassiana 1.15 % WP (12.00 q/ha) (1:1.60), Metarhizium anisiopilae 1x109 CFU/ml (11.08 q/ha) (1:1.47) and untreated control (9.08) (1:1.27) ratio.

The field investigation was carried out in the Prayagraj district of Uttar Pradesh. The experiment was conducted in rabi 2022 at Central Research Farm (CRF), SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj district. The field was laid in RBD with three replication and eight treatments viz., Beauveria bassiana (2×108 CFU/gram) (2 ml/liter), Metarhizium anisopliae (2×108 CFU/gram) (2 g/liter), Bacillus thuringiensis (1×109CFU/ml) (2 ml/liter), Ha NPV (1×109 POB’s/ml)  (1 ml/liter), Azadirachtin 0.3EC (5 ml/liter), Spinosad 45% SC (0.5 ml/liter), Neem seed kernel extract 5% (5 ml/liter), and untreated controlled plot to check the efficacy of biopesticides against pod borer, on chickpea. The result on the efficacy of treatments the least larval population was recorded in Spinosad 45% SC (0.96) followed by Ha NPV (1.20), Bacillus thuringiensis (1×109 CFU/ml) (1.84), Beauveria bassiana (2×108 CFU/gram) (1.91), Metarhizium anisopliae (2×108 CFU/gram) (2.02), Azadirachtin 0.3EC (2.22), Neem seed kernel extract 5% (2.48) and the highest larval population of pod borer was found in control treatment (4.02). In another parameter higher yield and cost benefit ratio was recorded in Spinosad 45% SC (20.33 q/ha) (1:2.84), followed by Ha NPV (1×109 POB’s/ml) (18.60 q/ha) (1:2.59), Bacillus thuringiensis (1×109 CFU/ml) (17.65 q/ha) (1:2.46), Beauveria bassiana  (2×108 CFU/gram) (15.68 q/ha) (1:2.19), Metarhizium anisopliae (2×108 CFU/gram) (14.58 q/ha) (1:2.03), Azadirachtin 0.3% EC (13.81 q/ha) (1:1.92) and Neem seed kernel extract 5% (13.58 q/ha) (1:1.89) as compared to control (10.83 q/ha) (1:1.54).

The mean larval population of chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera after two spraying revealed that Emamectin benzoate 5% SG @1 gm/lit was found the most efficient among all treatments with larval population of (2.32 larvae/5 plants), highest cost benefit ratio (1:3.87) and marketable yield (29.16q/ha), followed by Spinosad 45 SC @ 0.5 ml/lit with a larval population of (2.60), cost benefit ratio and yield (1:3.27 and 26.66 q/ha), Profenofos 40%+Cypermethrin 4% EC @ 3 ml/lit with a larval population, cost benefit ratio and yield (2.77, 1:3.42 and 25.83 q/ha), Bacillus thuringiensis @ 5mg/ml with a larval population, cost benefit ratio and yield (3.01, 1:2.93 and 22.5 q/ha), Beauveria bassiana @ 1×1010 conidia/ml with a larval population, cost benefit ratio and yield(3.24, 1:2.83 and 21.25 q/ha), Neem oil 5% with a larval population, cost benefit ratio and yield(3.49, 1:2.25), NSKE 5% with a larval population, cost benefit ratio and yield(3.77, 1:1.75 and 13.33 q/ha). NSKE 5% is least effective among the treatments and control plot T0 with a larval population, cost benefit ratio and yield (5.84, 1:1.54 and 11 q/ha).
