Population Dynamics of <I>Dalbergia sissoo</I> Defoliators , <I>Plecoptera reflexa</I> and <I>Dichomeris eridantis</I>

Abstract

The cyclic pattern in the population dynamics of defoliators D. eridantis and P. reflexa of Dalbergia sissoo is governed by delayed density-dependent factors and its growth rate. However , environmental variable particularly humidity and temperature are also influencing the population , since theses are directly affecting the parasitism phenomenon.
