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 leaf folder incidence and weather parameters. Results revealed that morning relative humidity in S₁V₂ (r=0.576), S₁V₄ (r=0.625), S₁V₅ (r=0.617), S₁V₇ (r=0.618), S₁V₉ (r=0.617), S₂V₁ (r=0.583), S₂V₃ (r=0.672), S₂V₅ (r=0.583), S₂V₉ (r=0.630), S₃V₂ (r=0.630), S₃V₅ (r=0.578), S₃V₉ (r=0.622), evening relative humidity in S₂V₁ (r=0.611) and rainfall in S₂V₁ (r=0.642) was found to be positively significant. While, maximum temperature in S₁V₅ (r=-0.599), S₂V₁ (r=-0.697), S₂V₅ (r=-0.634), S₂V₉ (r=-0.614), S₃V₁(r=-0.614), S₃V₂ (r=-0.629), S₃V₅ (r=-0.599), S₃V₈ (r=-0.622), S₃V₉ (r=-0.647) and bright sunshine hours S₂V₁ (r=-0.714), S₃V₈ (r=-0.604) was found to be negatively significant. Remaining all of the weather parameters were found to be non-significant.
