Author(s): VR Parmar and CC Patel
Abstract: A study was carried out on determination of the activity of esterase (µmol/min/mg protein) of the susceptible and resistant population of pigeonpea pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) Hardwick during the year 2016-17 at B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand. The result indicated higher level of esterase presents in different resistant populations collected from various locations. The larvae collected from Vadodara location showed higher level of esterase (1.36 + 0.04 µmol/min/mg protein) than other locations and it was followed by the esterase activity found in Ahmadabad population (1.28 µmol/min/mg protein). Larvae collected from Anand (1.17 + 0.03 µmol/min/mg protein) and Dahod (1.02 + 0.05 µmol/min/mg protein) districts showed moderate level of esterase activity, whereas low level of esterase activity was found in the susceptible population (0.14 + 0.02 µmol/min/mg protein) of H. armigera.
