The gross plot size was 5.4m X 4m and spacing was 45 X 15 cm. The population dynamics of major pests and their natural enemies in sorghum in years showed the incidence and peak time of the pests and natural enemies. The initiation of shoot fly eggs, dead heart due to shoot fly, stem borer dead hearts, ear head worm, lady bird beetle and chrysopa eggs was during 27th, 28th, 31th, 38th, 35th, and 38th MW, respectively during 2016. The peak incidence of shoot fly eggs, dead heart due to shoot fly, stem borer dead hearts, ear head worm, lady bird beetle and chrysopa eggs was observed during 28th, 31th, 43th, 39th, 35th, and 41st MW, respectively.
