Abstract
Chickpea pod damage is caused partly by the moth Heliothis armigera in India. The style of damage in the Middle East was different and it appears that other species of Heliothis may also be responsible for attacks which have damaged more than 40% of pods in some fields in Jordan. The other species are Heliothis peltigera and Heliothis viriplaca. It is suggested that these latter species are confused on occasion with H. armigera in the Middle East. Leaf miner and the aphids Aphis craccivora and Acyrthosiphon pisum were the other commonly seen pests in a tour of the Middle East
