Seasonal abundance of Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Fab.) on Solanum melongena L. and natural occurrence of its two hymenopteran parasitoids

Abstract

The 28-spotted hadda beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata Fab. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Correlation of Weather Factors on the Incidence of Epilachna Beetle Henosepilachna septima Dieke and its Natural Enemy

“…Bhowmik and Saha (2017) described that relative humidity and rainfall had negative correlation to epilachna beetle population. But in contrast, Kalaiyarasi et al, (2017) reported rainfall, high relative humidity and high temperature favoured epilachna beetle population. The leaf and flower damage were highly significant with a negative correlation to the minimum temperature (-0.589 and 0.738) and wind speed of flower damage (-0.593).…”
