Front Line Demonstration on foliar application of broad spectrum insecticide Indoxacarb 14.5 SC for control of pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera in green gram was conducted on farmers field in Nagaur district during 2019-20. Through the demonstration of the technology, 35.1% increase in green gram production has been observed with the production of 6.35 q/ha as compared to farmer’s practice (4.7 q/ha). Under demonstrated practices farmer were advised to alternate spray of the given insecticide on appropriate time. Under demonstrated practices, farmers got maximum net return of 21,667 Rs./ha, whereas, it was 12,285 Rs./ha in farmer’s practices.

The present study was designed to determine the LC50 of some insecticides commonly used against Helicoverpa armigera and their comparative efficacy against the insect pest. The second instar larvae of H. armigera reared in the laboratory were selected for leaf dip bioassay. Two types of insecticides viz. conventional (deltamethrin and bifenthrin) and new chemistry (spinosad and indoxacarb) were assessed in the present studies. The results revealed that bifenthrin was more toxic to the second instar larvae of H. armigera at all the doses with lower LC50 value of 120.007 ppm as compared to deltamethrin with the highest LC50 value of 292.404 ppm. Among the new chemistry insecticides, indoxacarb proved to be more toxic than spinosad with LC50 of 5.592 ppm. LC50 of spinosad was 8.201 ppm showing 1.46 times less toxicity than indoxacarb.
