The first author is thankful also to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi, for providing the senior fellowship during this investigation. N2 - In field studies conducted in Rajasthan, India the mean pod damage to chickpeas (Cicer arietinum) caused by Heliothis armigera [Helicoverpa armigera] in protected and unprotected plots was 0.9 and 5.9%, resp., in 1984, and 1.0 and 6.4%, resp., in 1985. The loss in grain yield in the unprotected plot compared to the protected plot was 115 kg/ha (avoidable loss = 16.7%) in 1984, and 128 kg/ha (avoidable loss = 18%) in 1985 Y1 - 1990/// SP - 494 ID - icrisat7701 EP - 496 VL - 60 IS - 7 ER -
