Abstract

Highest leaf gall midge damage (60.49 %) was observed on 7th standard week (SW) coinciding with pea cum marble sized fruit stages of the crop. It was positively influenced by sunshine and negatively by temperature (minimum and average), relative humidity, rainfall and wind velocity. The lowest leaf damage (31.69 %) was observed during 36 SW coinciding with emergence of new flush stage.
