Safety evaluation of new molecules for natural enemies (Coccinellids and Spiders) of okra pests

Significantly higher coccinellids and spiders population was recorded in emamectin benzoate 5 SG (0.25 g l⁻¹) and spinosad 45 SC (0.2 ml l⁻¹) followed by rynaxypyr 20 SC (0.3 ml l⁻¹), flubendiamide 480 SC (0.1 ml l⁻¹), indoxacarb 14.5 SC (0.5 ml l⁻¹) and novaluron 10 EC (1.0 ml l⁻¹). The lowest population was observed in profenophos 50 EC (2.0 ml l⁻¹), lambda cyhalothrin 2.5 EC (2.0 ml l⁻¹) and quinalphos 25 EC (2.0 ml l⁻¹) treatments.
