- Abstract
In the conditions of Khoronk settlement of Armavir marz, Armenia, Helicoverpa armigera (syn. Chloridea armigera Hübner) and Spodoptera exigua (syn. Caradrina exigua Hübner) are the chief pests damaging the pepper plants in their larval stage. In crop season 2022, experiments on these pests in pepper fields tested the insecticides that mainly control the insects. The insecticides tested against Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera exigua included Eforia, Belt, Decis F-Lux, and Spintor. The Arrivo served as standard, and the experiment also had a control. As a result of the conducted research, the insecticides Belt, Decis F-Lux, and Eforia showed the highest biological and economic efficiency in controlling Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera exigua. The study also ran a biochemical analysis of the pepper harvest to know the effects of the applied insecticides on the peppers' quality indicators.
