Abstract
The maximum population of Leucinodes orbonalis (fruit & shoot borer) could be recorded at 40 SW or fourth week of September in 2014 and 41 SW 1st week of October in 2015 at a temperature range of 26-350C and RH 49-78% in season 2014 and 26-360C temperature and RH 48-81% in season 2015. At this temperature range and RH, 5.50/leaves in 2014 and 5.20/leaves in 2015. The maximum population of Amrasca biguttula biguttula was recorded at 40 SW or the fourth week of September in 2014 and 41 SW in 1st week of October in 2015 at a temperature range of 26-350C and RH 49-78% in season 2014 and 26-350C temperature and RH 48-81% in season 2015. At this temperature range and RH, 23.7/leaves in 2014 and 22.8/leaves in 2015. After that, it went on decreasing and became negligible at 49 SW.
