A field study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of five insecticides viz., Emamectin 1.9 EC^® (emamectin benzoate), Lannate 40SP^® (methomyl), Coragen 20SP^® (rynaxypyr), Match 50 EC^® (lufenuron), Profenofos 50 EC^® (profenofos) against gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H.) on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) variety BRC-390. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications at Regional Agricultural Research Institute, Bahawalpur. The highest mortality of gram pod borer was recorded in plots treated with Profenofos (85%, 90% & 94%) and Coragen (85%,  90% & 92%) at 3, 5 and 7 days after treatment (DAT), respectively. No plant mortality was recorded in untreated plots from 3 to 7 DAT. Thus, these insecticides proved highly effective for the management of gram pod borer on chickpea under field conditions.
