In the field of agriculture, sustainability is the ultimate goal. Taking this in consideration it is very important to access the biosafety of insecticides against natural enemies as chemical pesticides play a major role in our Indian agriculture. This study was conducted with Fipronil 80WG, chlorpyriphos 20EC, dimethoate 30EC and NSKE 5% to study their biosafety against Trichogrammachilonis Ishii,Chrysoperlacarnea Stephens and Apisceranaindica Fabricus. Results indicated that, NSKE 5% was safe to T. chilonis with higher rate of parasitization (92.6%) and emergence (94.1%) followed by fipronil 80WG @ 40 and 50g a.i.ha-1 which recorded 80% egg parasitization and adult emergence. NSKE 5% had maximum Chrysoperlaegg hatchability of 88.75%. Fipronil 80WG @ 50 and 40g a.i.ha-1 had minimal negative effect on eggs of Chrysoperla, 48HAT the hatchability was 80 and 82.5%, respectively. NSKE 5% recorded least toxicity to bees with a mortality of 10% at 24HAT. Fipronil 80WG @ 40 and 50g a.i.ha-1 recorded the mortality of 50% over control. NSKE 5% and fipronil 80WG were superior in their safety over conventional insecticide, chlorpyriphos 20EC @ 200g a.i.ha-1 and dimethoate 30EC @ 375g a.i.ha-1.
