Abstract
A field survey was conducted during the month of August to December
2023, at three sites of four different villages around Ghugus region. In the
present study under natural conditions it was observed that zigzag ladybird beetle, adult as well as its larvae stages are more voracious
in nature in order to control most of the sucking pests such as aphids,
mealybugs, whiteflies, thrips etc., are common pests of cotton. Majority of
ladybird beetle are important group of biocontrol agents. Coccinellids are
beneficial insects and because of their predaceous nature they are considered
as the most economical and eco-friendly biological control method used against dangerous
pesticides.
