Abstract

The survey conducted during kharif 2018 and 2019 in rice crop to assess the biodiversity of predators revealed 37 species from 17 families belonging to six insect orders and 13 species of spiders under twelve genera under eight families. Spiders, coccinellids, damselflies and dragonflies were noticed.
