- Intervention effect Dimtu chickpea with insecticide sprays had the lowest larval count per plant (0.33) after 72 hours of exposure to H. armigera.
- Intervention effect Dimtu chickpea with insecticide sprays had the lowest number of damaged pods per plant (3.13).
- Intervention effect Dimtu chickpea with insecticide sprays had the highest grain yield (2234.13 kg per hectare).
- Intervention effect Habru chickpea with trap cropping had the highest number of effective nodules (17.37).
- Observation Control plots of both chickpea varieties had the highest larval and damaged-pod counts.
- Observation Control plots of both chickpea varieties had the lowest nodule counts and grain yields.
- Intervention effect Insecticide sprays on Habru reduced yield loss by 67.79%.
- Intervention effect Insecticide sprays on Dimtu increased yield advantage by 223.89% over control plots.
- Intervention effect Insecticide sprays on Habru increased yield advantage by 210.42% over control plots.
- Intervention effect Insecticide sprays on Dimtu gave superior net benefits of $2775.80 per hectare over control plots.
- Intervention effect Insecticide sprays on Habru gave superior net benefits of $2686.47 per hectare over control plots.
- Intervention effect Insecticide sprays on Dimtu gave a superior benefit-cost ratio of 4.46 over control plots.
- Intervention effect Insecticide sprays on Habru gave a superior benefit-cost ratio of 4.32 over control plots.
- Intervention effect Habru chickpea with trap cropping had a number of effective nodules statistically similar to Habru with intercropping.
- Intervention effect Dimtu chickpea with insecticide sprays had grain yield statistically on par with Habru.
- Recommendation Dimtu and partly Habru with insecticide spray is the most efficient and cost-effective option for pest management and yield in chickpea.
- Recommendation Farmers should manage H. armigera and sustain chickpea productivity with the suggested varieties and insecticide sprays.
