abstract: Helicoverpa (Heliothis) armigera Hubner (Lepidoptera:
Noctuidae) is a major pest of several food
and cash crops in the Old Wor ld semi-arid tropics.
In this publication, scientists review research on
the host selection behavior of H. armigera and on
the mechanisms of host-plant resistance to this pest
in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) and
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Five technical papers
cover host selection by lepidopteran insects,
behavioral and electrophysiological studies of H.
armigera, the identification of host-plant resistance
in pigeonpea and chickpea, and the chemical
basis of pest resistance in these pulse crops.
Recommendations are made for further action to
control H. armigera through a better understanding
of its host selection behavior and the factors
that interfere wi th this behavior.
