Abstract
The research study was conducted during the Kharif season 2024 at the Entomology Research Farm, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh). The Sucking insect pests of cluster bean, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub., observed during the study period were jassid, whitefly and mites. Peak population of jassid, whitefly and mites were observed during 38th SMW (6.2 jassids/plant), (5.0 whiteflies/plant) and (4.6 mites per three leaves), respectively. The results showed that jassid had positive significant correlation with rainfall (r = 0.573), whitefly had positive significant correlation with minimum temperature (r = 0.641) and rainfall (r = 0.559) and mites significantly correlated with minimum temperature (r = 0.725) at 5 % significance level.
