7 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Assessment of crop losses caused by fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) in tomato, published by epubs.icar.org.in. Source-evidenced topics include helicoverpa armigera, fruit borer, crop losses, tomato, protected plots, unprotected plots, fruit damage, yield. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. Question types in the export: 7 factual. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.
This dataset examines the effects of the fruit borer Helicoverpa armigera on tomato crops, comparing protected and unprotected plots over two years (2017–2018). It includes seven factual question-and-answer pairs derived from a study conducted at RARI, Durgapura. Key metrics such as larvae density, fruit damage, yield, and avoidable losses are documented, highlighting the benefits of crop protection measures. The dataset provides verbatim answers and source quotes for validation.

| What was the mean number of Helicoverpa armigera larvae per plant in protected plots? | 0.43 per plant | Assessment of crop losses caused by fruit borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in tomato Lycopersicon esculentum (Mill.) were studied in the Division of Entomology, RARI, Durgapura, during two consecutive years i.e., spring, 2017 and 2018. In protected plots, the mean H. armigera larvae was 0.43 per plant, whereas, it was 1.76 per plant in unprotected plots. The mean fruit damage in protected plots recorded as 10.98%, while it was as maximum 30.08% in unprotected plots. The yield obtained in protected plots marked significant difference 252.17 and 170.86 q/ha in comparison to unprotected plots. The avoidable losses were 31.88%, whereas, the mean increase in yield in protected plots was recorded as 47.16%. | 291 | factual | 0.490 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/AAR/article/view/127782 | armigera larvae was 0.43 per plant, whereas, it was 1.76 per plant in unprotected plots. | p[0] | 0.700 | valid | |
