Key Points

Peak populations of jassid, whitefly, and mites were observed during the Kharif season, indicating seasonal trends.
Jassid populations had a significant positive correlation with rainfall, while whitefly showed strong associations with both minimum temperature and rainfall.
Mites exhibited a significant correlation with minimum temperature, further highlighting the impacts of climate on pest dynamics.
The findings suggest that understanding these correlations may enhance pest management strategies for cluster bean crops.

Abstract

The research study was conducted during the Kharif season 2024 at the Entomology Research Farm, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh). The Sucking insect pests of cluster bean, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub., observed during the study period were jassid, whitefly and mites. Peak population of jassid, whitefly and mites were observed during 38th SMW (6.2 jassids/plant), (5.0 whiteflies/plant) and (4.6 mites per three leaves), respectively. The results showed that jassid had positive significant correlation with rainfall (r = 0.573), whitefly had positive significant correlation with minimum temperature (r = 0.641) and rainfall (r = 0.559) and mites significantly correlated with minimum temperature (r = 0.725) at 5 % significance level.
