Foliar application of entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema masoodi, S. carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis indica for management of legume pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera infesting chickpea

Laboratory and field studies on bioefficacy of locally isolated entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema masoodi, S. carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis indica (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae, Heterorhabditidae) were evaluated against legume pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) infesting chickpea.
