Abstract:

    Mango green leafhopper, Idioscopus clypealis Leth, is a most destructive insect pest during mango flowering stage. The insect feed on the tender shoots and excreted a sticky substance which cause sooty molds grow. This experiment was conducted to investigate the population fluctuation of mango green leafhopper to determine factors that affecting the population abundance, based on data collecting from 2000 to 2004 in a mango orchard at Fengshan in southern Taiwan. The population abundance of the mango green leafhopper in mango blossom stage was highly correlated with the climatic factors such as temperature (p=0.0012), rainfall (p=0.0902) and relative humidity (p=0.0665), and among them, temperature affected more than others.

Key words:Mango leafhopper, Climatic factors, Occurrence, Multiple regression analysis, Regression equations
