INFLUENCE OF METEOROLOGICAL FACTORS ON THE POPULATION DYNAMICS OF B-ZONATA AND B-CORRECTA ON MANGO

摘要

B.zonata population and showed peak between 32nd SW to 35th SW in both year of experiment. The peak population of B.correcta showed its peak in 36th SW followed by 33rd SW in 1st year of experiment and 29th SW followed by 30th and 31st SW in second year of experiment. The study revealed that B. zonata has non-significant correlation with maximum temperature but had significant positive correlation with relative humidity and rainfall. The correlation coefficient of maximum temperature and trap catches were non-significant with maximum temperature while with minimum temperature, relative humidity and rainfall it showed a significant positive correlation in both the years of study
