The field experiment was conducted at Central Research Farm of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar during summer 2014-15 and kharif- 2015 to study the effect of weather parameters on population dynamics of paddy pests with twelve treatments and four replications in sub plot size of 15m x 10m taking Lalat and Swarna as test cultivar during summer 2014-15 and kharif -2015 following the recommended package of practices. Temperature and relative humidity favours stem borer, leaf folder, whorl maggot and green leaf hopper, brown plant hopper and white backed plant hopper, but relative humidity was not ideal for leaf folder and whorl maggot. Rainfall discourages stem borer, leaf folder, whorl maggot and green leaf hopper but encourage brown plant hopper and white backed plant hopper.
