abstract
The present study was carried out on persuade of abiotic factors on abundance of Green Gram pests during Kharif season of 2018 at Insectary, department of Entomology CSAUAT, Kanpur. Six insect pests were recorded on Vigna radiata but only two insects’ viz., Mylabris pustulata and Helicoverpa armigera were found to be major insects. Other insects were minor pests. The population of all six pests show negative correlation with minimum temperature and positive significant with sunshine except grasshopper. Helicoverpa armigera had a negative significant with minimum relative humidity (r= -0.5797). Lampides boeticus and Ripotortus serripes also show negative significant with minimum relative humidity (r= -0.5187 and r=-0.6759) respectively in treated field of Green gram crop. Data calculated on correlation coefficient to estimate the relationship between the numbers of pests associated with weather parameters in Green gram field.
