title: Scope and limitations of host plant resistance in pulses for the control of Helicoverpa ( = Heliothis)

abstract: Two important pulse crops, pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan Millsp.) and
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) suffer major losses from pod borer
(Helicoverpa armigera ~ib.) attack at most places and in most
years in India. According to Reed (1983). in India alone H.
armigera causes yield losses to a value of US $ 300 million in
chickpea and pigeonpea each year. But these are generally grown
without pesticide protection because of the high cost of sprayers
and of insecticides, and difficulties in obtaining them, and
problems in obtaining and conveying water to the field. Lack of
.skill in their effective use is another important reason why most
farmers do not use insecticides. Other factors such as toxicity,
environmental pollution, the extermination of natural enemies and
eventually, build-up of insecticide resistance in the pests make
chemical control a risky and unsatisfactory pest management
strategy. In the future, host plant resistance should be utilized
where ever possible as an important component of Integrated
Pest Management.
