abstract
The present experiment was conducted during Kharif season 2018-19 and 2019-2020 at Agronomy farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Dapoli to study the correlation between yellow stem borer incidence and weather parameters. Results revealed that morning relative humidity in S₁V₁ (r=0.723), S₁V₂ (r=0.636), S₁V₃(r=0.880), S₁V₅ (r=0.674) and evening relative humidity in S₁V₃ (r=0.646), S₁V₅ (r=0.620) and S₁V₆ (r=0.626) was found to be positively significant. While, maximum temperature in S₁V₃ (r=-0.708), S₁V₄ (r=-0.704), S₁V₅ (r=-0.760), S₁V₆ (r=-0.786), S₁V₇ (r=-0.721), S₁V₈ (r=-0.721), S₁V₉ (r=-0.617) and bright sunshine hours S₁V₂ (r=-0.606) and S₁V₃ (r=-0.747) was found to be negatively significant. Remaining all of the weather parameters were found to be non-significant.
