Abstract

The study was carried out on the effect of various weather parameters like temperature, humidity, sunshine hours, rainfall and wind velocity on population of Bemisia tabaci and Myzus persicae on two varieties of potato viz. Kufri Ashoka and Kufri Badshah. Negative correlation was found between population and mean temperature, sunshine, R.H. for B. tabaci on both the varieties. For M. persicae a significant negative correlation was analyzed between temperature and population, whereas, positive correlation was observed in case of R.H.
