Summary:ABSTRACT In order to find out the integration of biocontrol agents with plant chemical and insecticide against Thrips tabaci L.(Thripidae: Thysanoptera), release of Coccinella septempunctata and Chrysoperla carnea, spray of Neem Seed Kernel Extract(NSKE) 5% and spinosad 240 SL(Tracer) were integrated in all possible combinations, thus, making a total of 15 treatments including separate application of each above and a control where none was applied except water only. Results showed significant difference amongst treatments(p
