Abstract

The maximum population of the tomato was recorded at 0.28/3 fruit in 47 SW at a temperature ranging between 170C-280C and R.H. 41.8-89% in 2014 and 0.43/3fruit in 47 SW. When temperature ranged between 18-320C and R.H. 45-82% in season 2015. The population of fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) was continuously increasing till their harvesting. It became maximum at 8 SW at a temperature range of (17.40- 25.500C) and R.H. (38-40%) in season 2014-15 and (19.20-26.600C) and R.H. (42.28-79.40%) in season 2015-16. At this temperature range and R.H. 6.28/3 fruit in 2014-15 and 8.26/3 fruit in 2015-16. The incidence of A. gossypii was recorded at 45 SW in both the season at a temperature range of (21.40-30.100C) and R.H. (38.10-88%) in seasons 2014-15 and (22.40-29.50C) and R.H. (42.10-88%) at season 2015-16. At this temperature range and R.H. the population of Aphid were 0.84/3 leaves and 1.20/3 leaves during both seasons. The population of A. gossypii went to increasing and reach its maximum at 6 SW or 1st week of February at a temperature range of ( 17.10-24.200C) and R.H. (30.28-84.20%) in season 2014-15 and in 2015-16 the population of A.gossypii maximum at temperature (13.20-24.200C) and R.H. (41.30- 79%). The population of B. tabaci went to increasing and reach its maximum at 6 SW during both the season at a temperature range of (17.10-24.200C) and R.H. (39.28- 84.20%) in seasons 2014-15 and (16.20-25.800C) and R.H. (43.10- 81.20%) in season 2015-16. At this temperature range and R.H. was 11.40/3 leave in 2014-15 and 12.20/3 fruit in 2015-16.
