The effect of sub-lethal concentrations of monocrotophos, dimethoate, methyl parathion, quinalphos and endosulfan in the post-embryonic developmental characteristics viz. stadial period, body weight, fecundity and longevity of Rhynocoris marginatus (Fabricius) was studied. All the insecticides except endosulfan increased stadial period, decreased body weight, fecundity and longevity.
