A field experiment was carried out on pigeon pea for the management of pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) during kharif 2016-17 and 2017-18 at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Vijayapura, Karnataka. The pooled data indicate that chlorfenapyr 24%SC @ 288 g ai/ ha (1200 ml/ ha) lead to 0.10 larvae/ plant and 70.72% reduction over control, which was on par with that of chlorantraniliprole 18.50SC @ 20 g ai/ ha (200 ml/ ha) with 89.35% reduction. Chlorfenapyr 24%SC @ 288 g ai/ ha (9.19% and 11.58 q/ ha) and chlorantraniliprole 18.50SC @ 20 g ai/ ha (7.34% and 12.25 q/ ha) were on par with each other in respect of pod damage and grain yield.
