The present study was conducted to find out the impact of microbials and botanical on natural enemies of chickpea pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner). There were total two sprays taken. The activity of Hymenopteran natural enemies started from 4^th meteorological week and remained up to 11^th meteorological week. The peak activity was in the 7^th meteorological week. The activity of Coleopteran natural enemies was started from 4^th meteorological week and remained up to 11^th meteorological week. During this period lady beetles, Coccinella septempunctata and Cheilomenas sexmaculata were observed in the experimental plot. The peak activity was in 10^th and 11^th meteorological week. The spider population during 4^th to 11^th meteorological week was in the range of 0.50 to 3.75 per five plants. The peak activity was in 10^th and 11^th meteorological week.
