Abstract:
The investigation on the incidence of Encarsia guadeloupae in spiralling whitefly on king chilli was recorded on 26^th Standard Meteorological Week in both 2017 and 2018 with 1.20 adults per leaf, while the highest mean abundance of Encarsia guadeloupae was recorded on 34^th SMW with 4.20 adults per leaf on 2017 and 4.40 adults per leaf on 32^nd SMW on 2018. The correlation of Encarsia guadeloupae with abiotic factors revealed a positive significant correlation effect with maximum temperature and negative non-significant correlation with maximum relative humidity but a positive non-significant effect with minimum temperature and rainfall in both the years of investigations.
