ABSTRACT
Population of A. gossypii Glover on Solanum melongena L. was studied. Monthly data were collected from 5 plants along with their natural enemies. Mean monthly temperature, relative humidity, dew point, rainfall, soil temperature and photoperiod were also collected. Correlation coefficient was calculated. Aphid population started growing from August, became highest in January and vanished in April. Multiple correlation coefficient was also highly significant.
