The experiment were carried out under field conditions during two consecutive crop season Rabi, 2017-18 and 2018-19 at five Farmer field at Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Ayodhya (U.P.). During the course of investigation “Study on population dynamics of H. armigera in chickpea” revealed that the maximum larvae were recorded in the 10^th SMW and 9^th SMW with respective larval population of 3.15 & 3.16 during Rabi, 2017-18 and Rabi, 2018-19, respectively and Minimum over all mean larvae recorded in 45^th SMW were 0.24 & 0.39 larvae/ plant during Rabi, 2017-18 and Rabi, 2018-19. It is evident from data that larval population showed non-significant negative correlation with minimum temperature (-0.050), relative humidity (-0.349) and rainfall (-0.063) while maximum temperature showed non-significant positive correlation (0.088) during Rabi, 2017-18. During 2018-19 the larval population showed non-significant negative correlation with minimum temperature, maximum temperature and rainfall (-0.403), (-0.022) and (-0.060) while relative humidity showed non-significant with positive correlation (0.149).
