Abstract

The investigation revealed that the weather parameters contributed for 89.3 and 66.9% of total variation in the population of whitefly on okra during 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively. The coefficient of determination was very high indicating that the prediction of the whitefly population by using weather parameters was reliable.
