Extensive pod damage on non-Bt plants with late instar H. armigera larvae
Effective control on Bt plants
Bt Chickpea can help us reduce growing import dependence in Pulses
![Page 21: IMC, Mumbai 19 th November, 2015 Research advances in Pulses](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa91a28abf838c99d75/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rationale for Bt Chickpea
India is the largest producer of chickpea in the world and
accounts for more than 60 % of the area harvested.
India imports about 9.5 lakh (2014) tonnes of chickpea
The area under chickpea occupies about 39% of the total
pulses consumed in India.
Lepidopteran insect Helicoverpa armigera or pod borer is the
most devastating insect pest of chickpea and may account up
to 40% of yield losses and losses of 100% has also been
reported.
Helicoverpa is difficult to control because of its high
fecundity, migratory behaviour, high adaptation to various
climatic conditions and development of resistance against a
range of insecticides.
Bt chickpea with cry2Aa gene provides an alternative
approach for pod borer management.

– Effectively protects the crop by control of Helicoverpa spp
– Provides yield gains of 25-40%
– Reduces costs on chemical application
– Benefits about 4 million of small farmers growing Chickpea
– Helps in Reduction of imports of pulses
