The results revealed that the treatment of spirotetramat 12% + imidacloprid 36% -480 SC @ 625 ml per ha was found most effective against sucking pest complex of hybrid cotton. Spirotetramat 12% + imidacloprid 36% -480 SC @ 750 ml per ha and spirotetramat 150 OD @ 600 ml per ha were considered next effective treatments in minimizing population of sucking pests of cotton. Maximum seed cotton yield was achieved in spirotetramat 12% + imidacloprid 36% -480 SC @ 625 ml per ha (1917 Kg/ha). It was closely followed by spirotetramat 150 OD @ 600 ml per ha (1704 Kg/ha) and imidacloprid 200 SL @ 900 ml per ha (1613 Kg/ha).
