  "abstract": "<p>An experiment on recording the predatory spiders from sprayed and unsprayed cotton grown at Agriculture Research Institute Tandojam was carried out during July-September 2008. The results revealed that seven species of predatory spiders were recorded from cotton and identified first time from Sindh. Lycosidae (513) and Thomisidae (210) families comprised of&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. Total capture in the months of July, august and September were 164 (24.94&plusmn;2.24oC, 78.86&plusmn;4.40%R.H.), 444 (22.5&plusmn;1.28OC, 79.33&plusmn;4.40%R.H.) and 98 (22.93&plusmn;2.30OC, 72.16&plusmn;2.30%R.H.) respectively. From un-sprayed venue maximum predatory spiders plant-1 were&nbsp;<em>P. birminica</em>&nbsp;(6.65&plusmn;0.51) followed by&nbsp;<em>Thomisus</em>&nbsp;sp (4.23) and&nbsp;<em>L. tista</em>&nbsp;(2.42&plusmn;0.31). Similarly from sprayed fields were&nbsp;<em>P. berminica</em>&nbsp;(3.12&plusmn;0.35) followed by&nbsp;<em>Thomisus</em>&nbsp;sp (2.35&plusmn;0.30) and&nbsp;<em>L. tista</em>&nbsp;(1.46&plusmn;0.20). In the month of July spiders plant-1 were 2.94&plusmn;0.22 when temperature and R.H. were 24.94oC and 78.6% respectively. Similarly in the month of August and September were 2.86&plusmn;0.180 (22.5&plusmn;1.28oC, 79.33&plusmn;4.40% R.H.) (r = 0.670**) and 1.45=0.34 (22.93&plusmn;2.30oC, 72.16&plusmn;2.30%R.H.) (r = 0.477**).</p>",
