Abstract:
The field experiment was carried out in the Experimental field of Agricultural Research Farm of B.R.D.P.G. College, Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, during Kharif 2020 and 2021. Maximum moth catch of brinjal shoot and fruit borer was observed at 41st SMW with a mean number of 9 moths per trap in 2020 and 7.40 months per trap in 2021. The population of the brinjal shoot and fruit borer moths has a positive correlation with maximum temperature, minimum temperature, morning relative humidity, and evening relative humidity. However, rainfall has a negative correlation with moth population during Kharif 2020 and 2021.
