Abstract: Investigations were carried out on “Population dynamics of sucking pests infesting chilli [Capsicum annum L.]” at Instructional Farm, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Regional Horticultural Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during 2017-18 and 2018-19. Based on average data of two years, the results revealed that thrips population was from initiated 38th SMW and its appearance continued till crop maturity i.e. 3rd SMW indicating its peak level (5.85/3 leaves) during 49th SMW. Similarly, population of whitefly started appearing from 38th SMW (0.70/3 leaves) which reached to its peak level (7.30/3 leaves) during 47th SMW. The population of aphid started from 41st SMW (1.36/3 leaves) which increased gradually and reached its peak level (10.05/3 leaves) during 45th SMW. Lastly, mite population started appearing from 36th SMW (3.43/3 leaves) which reached to the peak level (18.93/3 leaves) during 43rd SMW.
