TY - JOUR AU - V. Selvanarayanan, N. Muthukumaran, PY - 2009/10/28 Y2 - 2025/10/14 TI - Induction of resistance in tomato against Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) using biofertilizers JF - Recent Research in Science and Technology JA - RRST VL - 1 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://www.updatepublishing.com/journal/index.php/rrst/article/view/285 SP - AB - <p class="F2-BodyText" style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0in; line-height: 140%;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Based on preliminary and confirmatory field screening of 321 tomato accessions for resistance against fruit borer, <em>Helicoverpa armigera </em>(Hubner), a promising accession Varushanadu Local was selected for studying induction of resistance using biofertilizers <em>viz., Azospirillum</em>, Phosphobacteria, <em>Pseudomonas</em> and K-solubilizer. In comparison, a susceptible check, I979 was also evaluated. The feeding preference of <em>H. armigera </em>larva was the least towards Varushanadu Local than I979 irrespective of the biofertilizer. Among the biofertilizers K-solubilizer treated plants were the least preferred than others. A trend was observed in both the free choice and confinement tests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span></span></span></p> ER -
