A field experiment was conducted to study the impact of application of certain commonly used insecticides and botanicals in mulberry fields on the population built-up of predatory coccinellid beetles. The results revealed that the population of coccinellid beetles was drastically reduced 1 day after spray (DAS) in the plots treated with dichlorovos (88.63%), followed by phosalone (78.56%), dimethoate (72.19%) and metasystox (68.97%) whereas in the plots treated with pungam oil there was least reduction (29.72%) followed by neem oil (35.20%). The predators regained significant built up of their population at 5 DAS in plots treated with pungam oil and 10 DAS in the plots treated with neem oil, dichlorovos and phosalone whereas it continued to be at reduced levels (44.35%) in dimethoate followed by metasystox (32.61%) treated plots even at 10 DAS.
