An insight to biochemical nature of target pest, H. armigera is a prerequisite for an effective management system using natural product, especially against a pest with a wide host range. The present investigation carried out in laboratory to assess the influence of different host on qualitative and quantitative protein of H. armigera, revealed that the host pigeon pea has been the most suitable one for growth and development test insect, followed by artificial diet, chick pea and the least preferred being cotton. Considering soluble protein content in insect was variable in different tissues of H. armigera, samples were taken from whole body homogenate, haemolymph and midgut. The maximum induction of gut protein was observed in pigeon pea reared H. armigera, found to be a good inducer of protein having as well as the higher bands in haemolymph as compare to other, whereas cotton showed weak impression of protein.
