Spraying techniques against Helicoverpa armigera


In India, experiments were carried out to develop spray-techniques against Helicoverpa armigera (EPPO A2 pest) which also take into the consideration the survival of natural enemy populations. A strip application of 0,07% endosulfan with equally wide untreated strips between them reduced the damage caused by the pest and increased the yield of pigeon pea significantly.
