The present experiment was aimed at safety evaluation of different insecticides to Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant, a major predator of mealybugs. In order to understand the impact of chemical insecticides on this predator, different bioassays were carried out. The results of the study showed that the Percent mortality of C. montrouzieri at 24 HAT was highest in profenophos 50% EC (49.33%) followed by thiamethoxam (36.00%) and dinotefuran (30.67%). However, azadirachtin, buprofezin and pymetrozine were found comparatively safer insecticide to C. montrouzieri. Therefore, both of these insecticides, need to be evaluated further under different agro-climatic zones to confirm their suitability, for mealybug management in cotton ecosystem without adversely affecting the performance of C. montrouzieri.Keywords

Eocanthecona furcellata (Wolff) is a potential native predator of lepidopteran larvae that can be easily reared under laboratory conditions and released in augmentative biocontrol for management of pests in various crops. For successful mass production of any predator cannibalism under crowded rearing conditions is the major limiting factor. In the present study, attempts were made to know the ideal population considered for group rearing with minimal or no cannibalism. It was recorded that the predator population of 5 to 25 on Corcyra cephalonica (S.) and Galleria mellonella L. and 5 to 30 on Samia cynthia ricini Boisd. and Spodoptera litura F. was feasible for group rearing with higher percent survival rate when reared in different group arenas. The survival percent was higher on hosts, C. cephalonica, G. mellonella, S. litura and recorded lower on S. cynthia ricini under group rearing condition.
