Multiple regression of weather parameters against shoot & fruit-borer on okra

Abstract

An experiment has been conducted to assess the effect of different weather parameters and their multiple regression in okra against okra fruit and shoot borer. The results revealed that the R2 value indicated that the weather parameters contributed for shoot and fruit borer 79.5 and 92.6 per cent in 2017-18 and 2018-19 in of total variation in Earias vitella on okra. The weather parameters indicted that 73.9 and 75.9 per cent for shoot damage and for fruit damage were 88.7 and 99.5 per cent, during 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively.
