 ABSTRACT

Higher larval activity of M. vitrata and H. armigera was observed during 39th to 43rd SMW and peak population was observed during October month. Maximum temperature, mean temperature and evaporation showed significant positive correlation whereas, wind speed showed significant negative correlation with the larval population of M. vitrata. Maximum temperature, mean temperature, bright sunshine hours and evaporation showed significant positive correlation while, wind speed and rainy days exhibited significant negative correlation with H. armigera population in cowpea.

Keywords: M. vitrata, H. armigera, Seasonal incidence, Correlation
