ABSTRACT
Mango is the important fruit crop in India and it is infested severely by leafhopper causing damage ranged from 60-100 per cent. In the present experiment different leafhoppers populations were monitored on the mango tree of Kesar at College of horticulture, Bidar, during 2015-17 revealed that the I. nitidulus was more (4.68 per sweep), followed by A. atkinsoni (3.65) and lastly I. nagpurensis (3.23). The populations were more in flowering season in first year and low in offseason, but in second year the population were more in the beginning of the offseason after the highest record in fruiting season. During 2015-16, weather parameters such as maximum temperature and relative humidity (RH) showed significant positive correlation (r=0.59 to 0.74). Similarly, in 2016-17, wind speed showed positive significant correlation (r=0.57 - 0.62) and no relation such relation were observed with other climatic factors.
Keywords: Leafhoppers, Mango, Kesar, Population dynamics, Weather parameters, Monitor.
