The experiment was executed to assess the efficacy of different biopesticides including HaNPV, Bt, NSKE, Beauveria bassiana, Metarrhizium anisopleae along with two chemical pesticides viz. Imidacloprid and Chlorantraniliprole to manage Helicoverpa armigera Hubn. in field pea under natural growing conditions. Imidacloprid was used as a seed treatment chemical and integrated with all the treatments. Treatments were implemented when the pest population reached the ETL level. The comparative benefit-cost ratio was also calculated using the yield and current price of the treatments in the local market. Among different treatments, Chlorantraniliprole showed maximum efficacy and caused more than 90% larval reduction over control. Among the biopesticides, Bt provided maximum control of gram pod borer damage and benefit-cost ratio followed by HaNPV, Beauveria bassiana, Metarrhizium anisopleae and NSKE, respectively.
