Implication

Field trial evaluated biopesticides, revealing Bacillus thuringiensis significantly reduces Helicoverpa armigera populations in Cicer arietinum, suggesting viability for pest management.

Key Points

Bacillus thuringiensis effectively managed Helicoverpa armigera, yielding the highest economic return.
Evaluation showed fresh cow urine was least effective, revealing the significance of specific biopesticides for pest control.
The study conducted during the Rabi season at Navsari Agricultural University demonstrated viable alternatives to chemical pesticides.
Incorporating effective biopesticides into integrated pest management programs can enhance crop protection strategies.
