Abstract: An experimental trial was conducted to know the population dynamics of insect pest complex of brinjal in relation to weather parameters consecutively for two years during Rabi season 2018-19 and 2019-20 at BRAUSS campus, Mhow, (MP) India. Results revealed that the data on intensity and population fluctuation of major insect pests on S. melongena, along with prevailing weather conditions during Rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20 were recorded in field. Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), Jassid, Amrasca biguttula biguttula (Ishida) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), Aphid, Aphis gossypii (Glover) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Shoot and Fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis (Guen.) (Lepidoptera: Pyraustidae) and predators viz., Ladybird beetle, Coccinella transversalis (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) were recorded during the crop growth period.
Keywords: population dynamics, whitefly, jassid, aphid, brinjal, Leucinodes orbonalis weather parameters
