Abstract: A roving survey was undertaken twice during cropping period in different Bt cotton-growing Karnataka districts, i.e. Dharwad, Belgaum, Haveri, Bijapur, Gulbarga, Davangere and Shimoga to determine the incidence of Creontiades biseratense. The incidence of mirid bug was high in Haveri district (up to 10.17 bugs per 5 squares) probably due to higher area under Bt cotton. In other districts, the mirid bug incidence was low to moderate i.e., Gulburga (2.19 bugs per 5 squares), Davangere (2.90), Bijapur (3.03) and Belgaum (5.02). The least incidence of mirid bug was recorded in Shimoga district (2.17). The peak incidence was observed during October and November months. The maximum incidence (65.60 bugs/25 squares) was noticed in Haveri during second fortnight of November.
