Abstract: The impact of three botanical oils viz., neem, pungam and madhuca each in two dosage levels (1.5 and 3.0 %) on carbohydrate content in two predatory insects Cheilomenes sexmaculata and Chrysoperla carnea was investigated. In the adult male of C. sexmaculata, neem oil 3.0% caused 24.62% decrease in carbohydrate content and in all the other botanical oil treatments it got increased when compared with untreated control. However in it’s final instar larva, all the botanical oil treatments had reduced the carbohydrate level. The highest reduction of 44.31-59.31% was observed in neem oil treatment. In C. carnea female, all the botanical oil treatments recorded reduction in carbohydrate content except in madhuca oil 3.0%, which showed 8.64% increase over untreated control. In male also, all the botanical oil treatments caused reduction in carbohydrate content. However in it’s final instar larva, pungam oil 1.5% and madhuca oil 3.0%, caused an increase of 1.42-44.71% while in all other treatments, the carbohydrate content was decreased.
