INFLUENCE OF WEATHER PARAMETERS ON HELICOVERPA ARMIGERA (HUBNER) LARVAL PARASITISATION BY CAMPOLETIS CHLORIDEAE (UCHIDA) IN CHICKPEA ECOSYSTEM
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 16
Abstract
In the present study, the influence of weather parameters on larval parasitoid of H. armigera investigated in chickpea ecosystem. Results revealed that, maximum and minimum temperature (°C) are playing had a highly negative significant role (r = -0.756) and (r = - 0.760) with larval parasitization of pest. Whereas, Relative humidity (%) have had a significant positive correlation, on the contrary rainfall was negatively correlated with larval parasitization of pest. Considering the effects of weather parameters on the larval parasitisation by C. chlorideae can suitably be exploited by means of mass multiplication and mass release under favorable set of agro-climatic conditions for pest management.
