Abstract : B. dorsalis population showed its peak in 32nd and 35th SW, respectively. Correlation between B. dorsalis and weather conditions resulted, in a non-significant correlation with maximum temperature while it showed positive significant correlation with minimum temperature, relative humidity and rainfall in both years of the experiment.
