Description Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) is one of the most important insect pests worldwide. The larva feeds on
various important crops such as Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum. L),
chickpea (Cicer arietinum) & cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), causing important damages. In the last
decades, synthetic chemicals were frequently used to manage this insect throughout the world. The
intense application of pesticides has led to major problems in term of insect resistance, environment
pollution, in addition to their high cost. Research on bio-pesticides has been gaining increased attention
and many plant extracts and essential oils have shown promising activities in insect control. In this
context, biological activity of 12 essential oils and four plant extracts were studied using third instar larva
of pod borer Helicoverpa armigera. The aim of this study was to identify efficient botanical pesticide to
control of this pest under laboratory conditions using three types of tests: direct contact (Topical method),
systemic effect and fumigation. Results showed that essential oils were more promising than the plant
extracts in term of larval toxicity on the pod borer.
