Abstract

The population of Amrasca biguttula biguttula and Bemisia tabaci showed positive correlation with maximum, minimum and average temperature. Aphid population showed significant positive correlation with sunshine hours. Maximum temperature and sunshine hours with Urentius sentis population showed significant positive correlation during first year while, second year only maximum temperature showed positive correlation. The maximum, minimum and average temperatures, RH and rainfall showed significant positive relationship with Epilachna vigintioctopunctata population during two years. Maximum and average temperature of 1st year and maximum, minimum and average temperature and sunshine hours of 2nd year showed significant positive correlation with Eublema olivacea population. The incidence of Leucinodes orbonalis revealed significant positive correlation with sunshine hours.
