Chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) is the world’s second most important grain legumes after common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) among food legumes grown for production worldwide. Field experiment to evaluate and select the efficacy of insecticides for effective foliar spray against the pod borer in chickpea crop under field conditions. The experiment was conducted using two chickpea varieties; Dalota and Habru with six insecticides (Helerat 5% E.C at 400 ml/ha, Profit 72% E.C at 500 ml/ha, Perfecto 175 SC at 150-400 ml/ha, Con-fidence 35% at 250 ml/ha, Lipron 50 SC at 600 ml/ha and Highway 50 EC at 250 ml/ ha). The result revealed that Helerat was the most effective against pod borer on percent larval reductions. Helerate, Profit and Highway are more effective and reduced H. armigera larvae population by 56.67%, 51% and 45.62% on Habru variety respectively.Helerat resulted maximum seed yield 2349kg/ha and 2049 kg/ha for Dalota and Habru, respectively. The plot sprayed with Helerat gave the maximum net return birr 75102/ha and 78,525/ha for Dalota and Habru, respectively. Therefore, production of chickpea with the application of Helerate was most profit for economical production compared to other insecticides and recommended for the study area
