Seasonal incidence of insect pests of okra

Abstract

The field experiments were conducted during two different seasons i.e. kharif 2018 and rabi 2018 to study the seasonal incidence of insect pests of okra viz., leafhopper, aphid, whitefly, mite, dusky cotton bug Helicoverpa armigera and Earias vittella. The results on seasonal incidence of insect pests of okra revealed that the activity of leafhopper, aphid, whitefly and Helicoverpa armigera were more in rabi season than kharif season. Similarly, the activity of Earias vittella was more in kharif season than rabi season.
