The fertilizer treatmen consist of siam weed compost, cow menure compost, NPK, and control without fertilizer. Observation of Coccinellidae populatin had been done each 2 week. Result showed that the kind of fertilizer gived significantly effect of Coccinellidae population abundance. The highes Coccinellidae population given by siam weed compost treatmen (15), followed by cow menure compost (9), control (5) and the lowes one was NPK fertilizer (4).
