“…The infestation by jassid results in the necrosis of leaves and causes them to curl upward at the tips and edges. Whitefly is the most important insect pest of the okra crop that sucks the plant sap directly and transmits a large number of viral diseases indirectly especially under high temperature (Noopur et al, 2022). The success or failure of a crop is greatly influenced by weather parameters, as they have a substantial impact on the physiological expression of the genetic potential of the crops it is widely recognized that the yield of any crop or variety is contingent upon the presence of specific optimal conditions, including temperature, solar radiation soil moisture, relative humidity, etc.…”

Population dynamics of the insect is one of the important phenomena, which is continuously influenced by surrounding crops. The study of population insects can help to understand the interaction of the insect population and crops about extraneous weather factors. The present investigation is based on the population dynamics of major insect pests i.e. shoot and fruit borer, whitefly and jassids in the okra ecosystem and their correlation with various weather parameters. Okra is susceptible to several insect pests, leading to significant yield losses. This study revealed notable patterns in pest infestations during the crop's growth cycle. Shoot borer infestation began at 30 th Standard Week (SW) and reached its peak at 33 rd SW, with a maximum infestation of 17.6%. This infestation exhibited a significant positive correlation with minimum temperature, while maximum temperature and sunshine hours showed non-significant positive correlations. Fruit borer infestation commenced at 34 th SW, peaking at 21.8%, with minimum infestation (2.8%) observed at 40 th SW. Non-significant negative correlations were found between fruit borer infestation and maximum temperature, minimum temperature, and average relative humidity. Jassid infestation began at 30 th SW, reaching a maximum in 36 th SW and a minimum in 40 th SW. Significant positive correlations were observed with maximum temperature and sunshine hours, while minimum temperature showed a non-significant positive correlation. Whitefly infestation was first observed at 31 st SW and peaked at 35 th SW. The study found non-significant positive correlations with minimum temperature, maximum temperature, and sunshine hours, while non-significant negative correlations were identified with relative humidity and rainfall. Overall, this study contributes to understanding the interactions between insect pests and weather parameters in the okra ecosystem, facilitating more targeted and sustainable pest management.

“…However, it is important to highlight that this progress has been by an escalation in the use of fertilizers and pesticides, as noted by (Noopur et al 2021). (Noopur et al 2023) emphasized the importance of vegetables as they are rich sources of essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The selection of marketing channels is a crucial aspect of promoting agricultural products.…”

This research paper examined the factors influenced farmers' immediate selling of potatoes after harvest and their storage practices, various factors and limitations affected their selling and storage capacity has been identified and the ground conditions as realistic discussed as well as the price spread and marketing efficiency in the three districts Siyagard, Ghorband, and Shinwari of Parwan province, Afghanistan. The study conducted revealed that farmers primarily sold potatoes to pay for household expenses 57.50 percent and finance agricultural inputs 55.00 percent. Moreover, sold for loan repayment 45.00 percent and limited storage space 52.50 percent play significant roles in immediate selling decisions. The study also showed that farmers stored potatoes for various reasons, such as personal consumption 23.3 percent, anticipating higher prices 24.20 percent, meeting off-season demand 23.3 percent, and exploiting competitive prices 23.3 percent. The study provide insights into the price spread in different market channels, indicating varying profit margins for farmers and intermediaries. Finally, the study highlighted the marketing efficiency under different channels, with Channel III showed the highest efficiency 47 percent in direct distribution, followed by Channel II 32 percent and Channel I 29 percent. These findings highlight the complexities of potato marketing in the Parwan province, Afghanistan which can help policymakers to develop a sustainable approach to inform strategies to improve farmers' income and market efficiency.
