Abstract

All the indigenous components including insecticide treatment (oxydemeton methyl 25 EC) had shown non-significant difference among the treatments indicating their safeness against natural enemies. However, oxydemeton methyl 25 EC, tobacco and garlic extract treatments recorded slightly less number of natural enemies as compared to that of other treatments indicating their toxicity against spiders, coccinellids and Chrysoperla populations.
