Laboratory studies were performed on Helicoverpa armigera strain collected from Werer Agricultural Research Center cotton fields to investigate resistance to the field rates of profenofos, endosulfan and lambdacyhalothrin using adult vial, topical application, square dip and larval immersion techniques. It was found that LD50 values of endosulfan, profenofos and lambdacyhalothrin in the third instar topical bioassay were 29.84, 4.068 and 0.18 micro g/g body weight, respectively. In the square dip test profenofos (Calofos) resulted in 100 percent kill at two-times lower dose (1.25*10**(-3) g a.i/ml) and 86.67 percent larval deaths were observed at four-times lower dose. Endosulfan (Ethiosulfan) gave 99.33 percent only at the field rate (5.25*10**(-3) g a.i/ml). Lambdacyhalothrin (Karate) was observed to yield 99.33 percent larval death at eight-times lower dose (6.25*10**(-5) g a.i/ml) than the field rate. In larval immersion experiment lambdacyhalothrin and profenofos gave 98.33 and 99.33 percent kills at eight-time lower dose, respectively, while endosulfan expressed 96.67 percent efficacy only at the field rate. LC50, and LC90 in adult vial test for endosulfan were found to be 1.333 and 3.099 micro g/ml, respectively. However, the observed high mortality (GT 25 percent) in control treatments warranted reevaluation of adult vial technique. Square dip technique was found easy and economical.
