Abstract: The field trial was conducted to evaluate the influence of different biopesticides against natural enemies of mustard at Research-cum-Instructional Farm of Raj Mohini Devi College of Agriculture and Research Station, Ambikapur (Chhattisgarh), India. The overall influence of biopesticides on the population of ladybird beetle and syrphid fly after 3 and 7 days of the first and second spraying demonstrated that the untreated control recorded the highest population. The data revealed that Beauveria bassiana recorded less toxic to both natural enemies among the all biopesticide treatments.
