  • Notes: The relationship between weather factors and the emergence of A. purpureus was studied from 2011–12 to 2020–21 on the rangeeni summer (baisakhi) lac crop. Correlation and regression analyses were done after pooling ten years data (2011-12 to 2020-21) during the critical lac growth period i.e. SMW 8 to SMW 20. The present study results indicated that environmental factors played a significant role in the incidence of parasitoids on lac insect. https://doi.org/10.54386/jam.v25i4.2345
