Abstract: The field experiment on “Field efficacy of some insecticides against tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner)” was conducted during Rabi 2019-2020, at Central Research Farm, Department of Entomology, SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj, U.P. The relative efficacy of some insecticides viz., Chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC (0.5ml/lit), Spinosad 45%SC (0.5ml/lit), Flubendiamide 20%WG (0.3gm/lit), Novaluron 10EC (1.5ml/lit), Nisco sixer plus (2ml/lit), Novaluron 10EC + Nisco sixer plus (0.75+1ml/lit) and Indoxacarb 14.5SC (1ml/lit) were evaluated against fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera). The data on incremental percent reduction of different treatments revealed that the treatment Indoxacarb 14.5SC (65.66%) followed by Spinosad 45%SC (63.85%), Novaluron 10EC + Nisco sixer plus (0.75+1ml/lit) (62.21%) ˃ Chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC (60.64%) ˃ Nisco sixer plus (58.19%) ˃ Flubendiamide 20%WG (56.74%) ˃ Novaluron 10EC (55.94%) found to be the most economical viable treatment. The highest cost benefit ratio was obtained from Indoxacarb (1:10.8).
