Results were revealed that all the treatments were effective significantly to suppress the population of Coccinellids as compared with control (1.36 Coccinellids/hill). The treatment Monocrotophos was recorded lowest population of Coccinellids with (0.54 Coccinellids/hill) and found to be superior among all other treatments. This was followed by Triazophos (0.65Coccinellids /hill), Carbaryl (0.76Coccinellids /hill), Thimethoxam (0.83Coccinellids/hill), Malathion (0.87Coccinellids /hill), Imidacloprid (0.91Coccinellids/hill), Acephate (1.07Coccinellids/hill) respectively.
