Abstract

Studies on the effect of insecticides and biopesticide on two major parasitoids of Plutella xylostella i.e, Diadegma fenestralis and Cotesia plutellae indicated that malathion proved highly toxic to both the parasitoids and achook (azadirachtin), fenvalerate and cypermethrin + Bt showed less adverse effect on parasitoid emergence.
