Seasonal abundance of diamondback moth Plutella Xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) On cabbage crop (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.)

Impact of Weather Parameters on Population Dynamics of Cabbage Aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) on Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala)

“…The insect pest exhibited a significant positive correlation with both maximum temperature (r = 0.627) and minimum temperature (r = 0.845) while a non-significant negative correlation with relative humidity morning (r= -0.003 NS ) and non-significant positive correlation with relative humidity evening (r= 0.057 NS ) and rainfall (r= 0.486 NS ). The present findings are in agreement with the studies of Sinha et al [14], Shonga and Getu [15], Juglan et al [16], Sahu et al [17] and Venkateshwarlu et al [18].…”
