Abstract
For understanding the relations between the crop plant and pest population, phenology of crop is basic and important. Crop phenology can be divided into definite pheno-phases, and numbers of pest species against each pheno-phase can be recorded. This will be help in making screening germ plasms against pests precise. The temporal relationships between the plant and the insect help in making pest management more efficient and cost-effective.
