ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted to study the predatory potential of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri on Cotton Mealybug under laboratory conditions ( 30 ± 1°C and 70 ± 5% R.H ) , at Cotton Mealybug Entomological laboratory, Ayub Agricult ure Research Institute, Faisalabad. The results revealed that this predator feeds voraciously on mealybugs both in larval and adult stages. Cryptolaemus montrouzieri having a remarkable predatory potential, can be used to reduce population of mealybug which will result in the enhancement of yield of cotton seed.
