To reduce the use of chemical insecticides, effects of ZnO nanoparticles, Kaolin alone or in pairwise combination with NeemAzal-T/S against egg and second instar nymph of B. tabaci and pupae of its parasitoid Eretmocerus mundus Mercet were evaluated. The LC50 values of ZnO NPs, Kaolin and NeemAzal-T/S against eggs and nymphs of B. tabaci were 7.49 mg L-1, 24.89 g L-1, 6.83 mg L-1 AZA and 6.93 mg L-1, 18.36 g L-1 and 6.00 mg L-1 AZA 3 days after treatment, respectively. The LC50 values of ZnO NPs, Kaolin and NeemAzal-T/S against E. mundus were 11.30 mg L-1, 41.59 g L-1, 36.90 mg L-1 AZA, respectively 3 days after treatment. In the laboratory conditions, ZnO + NeemAzal and Kaolin + NeemAzal exerted a higher level of control on eggs and nymphs of the pest than either alone, while they had a lower level of negative effects on the parasitoid pupae, too. In the field conditions and at 7 DAT, Kaolin + NeemAzal was the most effective treatment on eggs of the pest, causing a 67.43% reduction, while NeemAzal-T/S was the most effective treatment on nymph (86.52% reduction), which was not different with ZnO + NeemAzal and Kaolin + NeemAzal. NeemAzal and ZnO exerted the highest and lowest mortality on pupae of the parasitoid, respectively. Based on the field studies, ZnO NPs at 20 mg L-1, Kaolin at 30 g L-1, NeemAzal-T/S at 15 mg L-1 AZA and mixing equal volumes of NeemAzal-T/S (7.5 mg L-1 AZA)+ZnO NPs (10 mg L-1) and NeemAzal-T/S (7.5 mg L-1 AZA)+ Kaolin (15 g L-1) can be suitable candidates in IPM programs of B. tabaci field condition.
