Notes: In current investigations, two trials were carried out under semi-field and field conditions for two consecutive years to investigate the compatibility of native predators, Chrysoperla carnea larvae and adults of Brumus suturalis and the exotic predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri with neem oil for the control of Phenacoccus solenopsis during 2018–2019 and 2019–2020. The purpose of current study was to devise an IPM program for the control of cotton mealybug but more specifically, to determine the suitability of introduced coccinellid predator C. montrouzieri under new environmental conditions.
