| Abstract: | Present study
was carried out on Chickpea, Cicer
arietinum Linn. cv.
âJG-322â to find out the efficacy of indigenous products like neem leaf and seed kernel extract, neem oil, cow and buffalo butter milk, garlic and red pepper
extract and biological pesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis as compared to chemical pesticide against
the incidence of gram pod borer, Helicoverpa
armigera Hubner at
College of Agriculture, Tikamgarh (Madhya Pradesh)
during rabi seasons of 2001-02, 2002-03 and
2003-04. The results revealed that indigenous products, garlic + red pepper
(0.5, 1.0%), cow butter milk (4-8%), buffalo butter milk (8%) and biological insecticide, Bacillus thuringiensis (0.2%) were highly effective and statistically at par with chemical pesticides Quinolphos (0.05%) and Cypermethrin (0.01%) not only in reducing the larval population and % pod damage caused by H. armigera
but also in increasing the grain yield of chickpea.Net profit was found to be quite
closer to chemical pesticides. The incremental cost benefit ratio was highest
with Garlic+Red pepper extract -0.5% (19.4) and Cow
butter milk- 4% (19.3). Thus, these indigenous products can be employed
effectively, economically and safely in controlling the incidence of gram pod
borer in Chickpea. |
