Investigations were carried out on “Population dynamics of sucking pests infesting chilli [Capsicum annum L.]” at Instructional Farm, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during 2017-18 and 2018-19.

Similarly, population of whitefly started appearing from 38th SMW (0.70/3 leaves) which reached to its peak level (7.30/3 leaves) during 47th SMW. The population of aphid started from 41st SMW (1.36/3 leaves) which increased gradually and reached its peak level (10.05/3 leaves) during 45th SMW.
