The research work entitled was undertaken at central research farm (CRF) SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj consists of eight treatments viz, T1- Spinosad 45% SC, T2- Chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC, T3- Half dose of Chlorantraniliprole + Nisco sixer plus, T4- Nisco sixer plus, T5- NSKE, T6- Beauveria bassiana,T7- Neem oil and T0- untreated control in RBD with three replications. The larval population of chickpea pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner)on third, seventh and fourteen days after spraying revealed that the treatment Chlorantraniliprole (2.41) found superior followed by Spinosad 45%SC (2.47), Half dose of Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC + Nisco sixer plus (2.61), Nisco sixer plus (2.67), Neem oil (2.72), NSKE (2.76) and Beauveria bassiana (3.60) as compared to control(4.67). Among the treatments studied, the best and most economical treatment was Chlorantraniliprole (1:3.0), followed by Spinosad 45%SC (1:2.6), Half dose of Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC + Nisco sixer plus (1:2.2), Nisco sixer plus (1:1.8), Neem oil (1:1.7), NSKE (1:1.5) and Beauveria bassiana (1:1.1) as compared to control (1:1.0).
