Abstract: The closer the spacing resulted the lower was the thrips incidence. The thrips population was increased from 30 DAP to 50 DAP and then declined from 60 DAP. The thrips population was lowest in early planted crop and highest in late planted crop and medium in normal planted crop in kharif and Rabi seasons. The thrips population was highest in kharif followed by Rabi season. The thrips populations has a significant relationship with the stage of the crop.
