Abstract

An analysis of effect of the temperature and relative humidity trends on Safflower aphid life cycle and population dynamics were conducted during Rabi 2011–12 in Department of Agricultural Entomology, College of Agriculture, Pune. Increase in Relative humidity and maximum temperature created favourable conditions to increase in population of Uroleucon compositae (Theobald) on Safflower.
