abstract
Study the effect of weather parameters on seasonal incidence of borer complex in sugarcane under Terai zone of Northern West Bengal was conducted during two consecutive years 2017-18 and 2018-19. During seasonal study, It was observed that maximum temperature with maximum relative humidity showed highly significant and significant positive correlation(r=8733** and r=6784*) with % incidence of root borer of sugarcane, respectively and the other parameter i.e. minimum temperature, minimum RH showed non significant positive correlation (r = 0.0758, r = 0.1619), respectively, while, the rainfall registered non significant negative relation (r= -0.1331). This is clear that maximum temperature was the influential weather elements for buildup of root borer incidence of sugarcane.
