Abstract

The present investigation was carried out during 2001–02 and 2002–03. The results revealed that imidacloprid seed treatments were found most safer for natural enemies of Earias vittella in okra field. Among the foliar spray endosutfan spray was safe to natural enemies whereas fenvalerate was found most toxic. Foliar spray of imidacloprid was found safer to spiders but proved least safer to other natural enemies.
