Abstract

Application of acephate 0.15% + triazophos 0.08% + NPK 19:19:19 @ 0.75 kg + 0.4 l.+ 1250 g a.i./ha in combination was found to conserve coccinellids and syrphids predators in Bt cotton. This was followed by acephate 0.15% + difenthiuron 0.04% + NPK 19:19:19 @0.75 kg + 0.2 kg + 1250 g a.i./ha in its effects on these predators.
