Abstract

Helicoverpa armigera (Hiibner) has been identified as an important pest problem globally. Only a few insect pests cause as much loss to vegetative and reproductive plant parts in a range of tropical and subtropical crops around the world as Helicoverpa. Its geographical range of distribution extends to all the continents, but the damage in the semi-arid tropics is enormous. Helicoverpa armigera has been recorded from over 20 crops and 180 wild hosts in India. Cyclic appearance of H. armigera on cotton and pulses has rendered the mitigation of this pest to be quite difficult.............
