Leaf hopper, whitefly and thrips on castor leaves remained active throughout the crop season with their peak activity during 3^rd week of November, 5^th week of October and 3^rd week of November, respectively whereas thrips on spike remained active from flowering stage till harvesting of crop with their peak activity during 4^th week of January and capsule borer remained active from spike formation stage till harvesting of crop with their peak incidence during 3^rd week of January. The population of leaf hopper shown highly significant negative correlation with minimum temperature, morning relative humidity and rainfall; population of thrips on leaves shown highly significant negative correlation with minimum temperature, morning relative humidity, evening relative humidity and rainfall whereas thrips on spike and capsule borer incidence shown highly significant negative correlation with minimum temperature and maximum temperature.
