Correlation the incidence of major insect-pest and natural enemies with weather parameters


Author(s): Suraj Kumar, Pankaj Kumar, Ram Veer, Sanjeev Sharma and Akshay Kumar

Abstract: Major insect pest of okra viz., jassid (Amrasca bigutulla biguttula), whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), and shoot and fruit borer (Earias vittella) damaged heavily during the kharif. The incidence of leafhopper, whitefly, shoot and fruit borer and natural enemies show correlation with weather parameters, minimum temperature showed significantly positive correlation (r = 0.611* and 0.807**) with jassid incidence during both the year of study. Maximum temperature showed non-significant negative correlation with jassid incidence during 2018 and significantly positive correlation during 2019 and correlation values in respective years were (r= -0.234 and 0.836**). Relative humidity and rainfall showed negative non-significant correlation with Whitefly incidence during both the years and correlation values in respective years were (r= -0.323, -0.092 and r= -0.562, -0.580). Minimum temperature showed positive significant correlation (r= 0.757** and 0.835**) during both the years. Maximum temperature showed non-significant negative correlation with per cent shoot damage during 2018 and significantly positive correlation during 2019 and correlation values in respective years were (r= -0.138 and 0.810**). Whereas, wind speed and sunshine showed positive non-significant correlation (r= 0.040 and 0.171) during first year and negative non-significant correlation (r= -0.373 and -0.064) during second year. minimum temperature and Clubiona sp. showed positive significant correlation (r= 0.438 and 0.493) during both the years.
