Biological Pest Management for Chickpea Pod Borer in Madhya Pradesh | Bacillus thuringiensis, Beauveria bassiana & Microbial Biopesticide Manufacturer, Wholesale & Bulk Supplier India

Chickpea (Gram/Chana) is widely cultivated across Vidisha, Raisen, Sehore, Sagar, Damoh, Guna, Ashoknagar, Ujjain and other agricultural regions of Madhya Pradesh. Chickpea pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) is an important insect pest that damages flowers and developing pods. Biological pest-management products can be incorporated into integrated pest-management programs.

Bacillus thuringiensis for Chickpea Pod Borer

Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) is a microbial biopesticide used against susceptible caterpillar larvae. After ingesting treated plant material, susceptible larvae may stop feeding and subsequently die. Application timing, larval stage, coverage and the registered product label influence effectiveness.

Beauveria bassiana for Biological Insect Management

Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus used against certain susceptible insect pests. Its performance depends on the fungal strain, target insect, environmental conditions and application method. It may complement a broader biological chickpea pest-management program where the product is registered for the intended use.

Integrated Chickpea Pod Borer Management

Biological control works best alongside regular crop scouting, pheromone traps, conservation of natural enemies and timely pest identification. Farmers should monitor eggs and early-stage larvae, follow local economic thresholds and select registered products appropriate for chickpea pod borer.
