The results of Trichogramma exposed to toxicants showed that the maximum percent mortality was recorded with Methamedophos (94.42%) followed by Ripcard (93.73%). Among different concentrations of neem oil, the mortality of Trichogramma was maximum (93.25%) with 5% neem oil and minimum (59.37%) with 0.5% neem oil compared to other treatments. Emergence time was not significantly different in all treatments of neem oil. Females ratio was maximum (75%) with 5% neem oil. In the 2nd experiment minimum Trichogramma mortality of 34.57% was caused by 0.01% neem oil. Emergence time did not differ significantly in all treatments of neem oil except neem oil at 1.5% in which it was maximum (10.12 days). Longevity was maximum (2.17 days) with 0.25% neem oil and minimum (1.83 days) with neem oil 1%.
