  "abstract": "<p>A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the predatory efficiency of aranied fauna against the insect pests of cotton. Predatory spider species collected from cotton fields were&nbsp;<em>Lycosa tista</em>,&nbsp;<em>L. kempi</em>,&nbsp;<em>L. machenziei</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Pardosa berminica</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Thomisus projectus</em>,&nbsp;<em>T. bulani</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Thomisus</em>&nbsp;sp and their preys were adult and nymphs of jassid, white flies and jassid. Predator&nbsp;<em>L. tista</em>&nbsp;consumed 12.80 (19.21) adult and 17.0 (21.25%) nymphs jassid out of total consumption of adult jassid (66.60) and nymph jassid (79.7) whereas&nbsp;<em>L. kempi</em>&nbsp;consumed 12.80 (19.21%) white flies and 10.60 (25.80%) thrips. Predatory spider&nbsp;<em>T. projectus</em>&nbsp;showed least intention for consumption of 6.0 (9.0%) adults and 6.40 (8.0%) nymph jassid. White flies and thrips were consumed 3.80 (5.01%) and 3.20 7.61% by the&nbsp;<em>T. bulani</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>T. projectus</em>. The maximum nymph jassid (79.40) were consumed by all predatory spiders. Overall the highest consumption was observed in&nbsp;<em>L. kempi</em>&nbsp;(56) followed by&nbsp;<em>P. birminica</em>&nbsp;(53) and&nbsp;<em>Thomisus</em>&nbsp;sp (47). The current findings revealed that aranied fauna as an efficient predator of jassid could be used for the suppression of insect pests of cotton.</p>",
