In this study, it was observed that maximum temperature with maximum relative humidity (RH) showed highly significant positive correlation (r=0.87** and r=0.68**) with incidence of sugarcane shoot borer Chilo infuscatellus Snellen. But minimum temperature and minimum RH were insignificant in influencing its incidence. Rainfall was observed to show a negative relation (r= -0.28) with incidence.
