  abstract = {{T}he cotton mealybug, {P}henacoccus solenopsis {T}insley ({S}ternorrhyncha: {P}seudococcidae) is a serious pest of various cultivated plants in {P}akistan. {R}ecent reports show that the parasitoid {A}enasius bambawalei {H}ayat ({H}ymenoptera: {E}ncyrtidae) is a good biocontrol agent of the pest. {C}ompatibleness is important in any {IPM} programme, and the insecticide used must have little or no effects on the biological control agent. {T}his study investigated the compatibility of neem treatments and a commercial insecticide, imidacloprid on {A}. bambawalei. {B}ioassays were laid out in a completely randomized design ({CRD}) under laboratory conditions. {R}esults showed that the adult stage of the parasitoid was more susceptible to the commercial insecticide imidacloprid than the concealed pupal stage. {M}oreover, on the basis of the {I}nternational {O}rganization for {B}iological {C}ontrol ({IOBC}) toxicity categories of the commercial insecticide, imidacloprid was moderately toxic throughout the study period ({E}x >80%) while neem was slightly toxic after 24 h of use ({E}x <80%). {R}esults also suggest that {A}. bambawalei release should be delayed for at least 1 week after neem treatments. {B}ecause imidacloprid destroys {A}. bambawalei, it might cause resurgence of {P}. solenopsis; thus, farmers should avoid integrating the insecticide in the control of {P}. solenopsis.},
