Population dynamics of thrips revealed that the incidence of thrips commenced in the 8th standard meteorological week i.e. 2nd week of sowing indicating 0.70 thrips per three terminal leaves per plant, which gradually increased and attained a peak of 11.44 thrips per three terminal leaves per plant during the 14th standard weather week i.e. 8th week of sowing. Thereafter, it started to decline slowly toward the maturity of the crop. The population of thrips showed significant negative correlation with minimum temperature (r=-0.564*), morning and evening relative humidity (r=-0.576*) and (r=-0.587*) and positive significant correlation with bright sunshine hours (r=0.580*).
