Abstract

The Population dynamics of Aleurodicus dispersus has dependent upon abiotic factors.  Weather parameters like maximum temperature, minimum temperature, maximum relative humidity, minimum relative humidity, and rainfall were played limiting factors for the buildup of the whitefly population. Change in climatic conditions has a significant impact on the natural environment, regardless of their primordial cause. To understand the relationship between the incidences of pests with weather factors, seasonal incidence studies were conducted at fortnight intervals from January 2016 to December 2018.  Correlation studies of the seasonal incidence of A. dispersus, and weather factors will help in the development of a prediction model. The relationship between A. disperses and abiotic factors separately studied through simple linear regression. Multiple linear regressions were carried out for comparing abiotic factors with A. disperses.  By using coefficient correlation the significant value of ‘P’ Graph were observed and predicted value drawn by using Y equation. In initiation of winter season population of A. disperse was increases. During summer season population of whitefly remains moderate and during rainy season whiteflies population was observed in less number. This observation is helpful for giving advance forewarning information to the farmers to remain in preparedness for suppressing the pest populations with eco-friendly measures bringing sustainable yields.
