Effect of Beauveria bassiana (Five concentrations i.e. 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 & 0.35 %) and Cypermethrin (0.01 %) were studied against Heliocoverpa armigera both in vitro and in situ on Cotton crop. It was observed that percent mortality of H. armigera increased from 26.66 to 66.66 percent respectively as the dose of B. Bassiana increased from 0.20 to 0.35 percent. The maximum reduction of population of H. armigera was also observed after first and second spray on 3rd, 5th & 7th day. It was recorded that highest population reduction percent was done after spray crop with Cypermethrin 0.01 % followed by B. bassiana 0.35 % over control.The maximum boll damage was observed in Cypermethrin 0.01 percent (17%) followed by B. bassiana 0.35 percent (19 %) as compared to the natural boll damage of 38 % being noticed in untreated control. The highest boll yield of 1728.33 kg/ha was registered in Cypermethrin, which was followed by B. Bassiana (0.35 %) 1478.33 kg/ha over control. The net profit (54270 Rs/ha) & benefit cost ratio (1: 17.4) were more with Cypermethrin but net profit (42825 Rs/ha) and benefit cost ratio (Rs 1: 12.9) recorded with B. bassiana (0.35 %). As a whole Cypermethrin leaves residual effects, pest resurgence problems & develop resistence in insect so looking toward ecosafe & biofriendly environment B. bassiana found more effective for controlling of H. Armigera in cotton.
