ABSTRACT
Organic agriculture means keeping aside the use of synthetic pesticides and seeking the safe, effective and economical organic alternatives for plant protection. Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is a key pest of chickpea and causes annual crop losses of 10-90%. Seven treatments of organic formulations viz., panchgavya 10%, Melia extract 5%, agneyastra 5%, dashparni 5%, NSKE 10%, neem oil 0.03 % and NPV @3×108 POBs were tested in a field experiment raised organically during 2012 and 2013 against this pest. The observations on five selected plants per plot were taken to work out the per cent infestation, yield and comparative efficacy of each treatment. Population of H. armigera larvae were recorded a day before spray of treatments and after 10 days of spray to work out the comparative effectiveness of each organic formulation. All the organic formulations reflected effect on the population build up of H. armigera and crop infestation but NPV @3×108 POBs was found to be the most suitable and significantly superior organic alternative for the management of H. armigera which was followed by panchgavya 10%. Monitoring counts of H. armigera moth through traps had highest counts in the month of May.
