This paper aimed to evaluate the direct and indirect effects of Bt cotton and no Bt cotton on the development and reproduction of the predator <i> Podisus nigrispinus </i> (Dallas). The experiments related to the direct and indirect effects on immature and adult stages of the predator were conducted, respectively, in greenhouse and laboratory of the Embrapa Agropecuária Oeste in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. To evaluate the indirect effects of Bt cotton and non-Bt, larvae of <i> Spodoptera frugiperda </i> (Smith) were fed with these plants and later offered to the predator. To evaluate the direct effect of the Bt cotton and non-Bt, the predator <i> P. nigrispinus </i> was kept in contact with these plants and fed with pupae of <i> Tenebrio molitor </i> (L.). The direct and indirect effects were evaluated by the biological parameters as follow s : period of nymphal development, nymphal survival, and duration of pre-oviposition and oviposition periods and longevity of adults (females and males) of <i> P. nigrispinus </i> . It was observed higher period of second instar of <i> P. nigrispinus </i> in Bt cotton, when compared to the development in its isoline non-Bt. All other biological parameters evaluated, have no influence of the Bt cotton plants considering the direct and indirect effects.
