Abstract
The present study entitled “Seasonal incidence
of insect pests and their natural enemies on cabbage” was conducted during rabi
season 2024-25 at the farm of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, College of Agriculture,
Dhule (Maharashtra). The study on seasonal incidence indicated that pest occurs
during November to March in rabi 2024-25. The peak incidence of aphid
was observed during fourth week of January i.e. 4th SMW
(14.82 aphids/three leaves / plant), while, the incidence of tobacco leaf
eating caterpillar and diamondback moth was at its peak during fifth week of
January i.e. 5th SMW (4.40 larvae/plant and 9.80 larvae/plant
respectively). The activity of coccinellid predator was at its peak during
fourth week of January i.e. 4th SMW (2.80/plant). Among
various climatic parameters, only evaporation showed a statistically
significant positive correlation with the population of diamondback moth and
ladybird beetles while, other meteorological factors showed no significant
influence.
