Abstract
The impact of the various abiotic parameters on the tomato fruit borer Helicoverpa
armigera population was studied during September 2023- January 2024 in
Lakhipur, Rudrapur. In this exploration, we examined the intricate relationship
of abiotic parameters (like temperature, moisture, and rush) on the prevalence
of pest populations. Our findings revealed that the population of H.
armigera larva reached its peak 4.86 mean in 46th week when the
maximum and minimum temperature was 28.5℃ and 12.7℃, respectively, relative
humidity 84.7% and rainfall 0.0 mm was recorded. The larval population of H.
armigera showed a negative correlation with evening humidity (r= -0.6222).
At the same time, a non-significant positive relationship was set up between
larval populations with minimal temperature and sun hours (r= 0.2752), (r= 0.5896),
and (r = 0.7045), independently. A non-significant negative relationship was
set up independently amid larval populations with morning RH and downfall (r=
-0.547) and (r= 0.1838). These findings provide valuable insights into the
relationship between abiotic parameters and the prevalence of the pest
population, which can aid in developing effective pest management strategies.
