Abstract
The research trial on ‘Influence of weather parameters on incidence of coconut eriophyid mite, Aceria guerreronis (Keifer) (Acarina : Eriophyidae)’ was conducted during 2014-2016 at Asond block, Central Experimental Station, Wakawali, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, such as minimum temperature, maximum temperature, morning relative humidity, evening relative humidity, sunshine hours and rainfall. The results revealed that, among the various meteorological parameters the maximum temperature and sunshine hours found to be significantly positively correlated with per cent infestation and showed significant correlation values of 0.504 and 0.404, respectively. This indicated that as temperature increased percent eriophyid mite infestation get increased. Similarly as sunshine hours increases, the percent eriophyid mite infestation also increases.
