Abstract
Changes in the post-embryonic developmental characteristics like stadial pe riod, weight, fecundity and longevity of Rhynocoris fuscipes (Fabricius) by five commonly used insecticides in the cotton agroecosystem namely monocro tophos, dimethoate, methylparathion, quinalphos and endosulfan were studied . All of the insecticides except endosulfan increased stadial period, decre ased body weight, fecundity and longevity.
