Abstract

This study investigates the temporal dynamics of natural enemies in the mulberry plant with populations of sucking pests and metrological parameters. An experiment was conducted from December 2018 to November 2019, in the Jorhat district of Assam. The experiment’s findings indicated that among the five species of sucking pests, Paracoccus marginatus was dominating. There was more fluctuation in the P. marginatus population during both crop seasons due to the interaction of abiotic and biotic variables. The number of wet days during the 2018–2019 study period revealed a substantial inverse association between adult and larval populations of natural enemies.
