A field experiment was conducted at the Eastern farm of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru College of Agriculture and Research Institute (PAJANCOA and RI), Karaikal during Rabi 2013 to study theeffect of newer insecticides to natural enemies of rice pests. Two foliar applications were carriedout at an interval of fifteen days after leaf folder larvae reached economic threshold level. Theresults showed that the overall mean population of coccinellids was found to be more in theuntreated check (1.28 and 1.55/hill) followed by indoxacarb 14.5 SC at 72.50 g a. i. / ha (0.99and 1.12/ hill) in the first and second foliar application. The overall mean population of spiders was high in the untreated check (1.40 and 1.59/ hill), followed by indoxacarb 14.5 SC at 72.50 ga. i. / ha (1.07 and 1.07/ hill) over the other treatments.
