AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the population dynamics of red plam weevil in Kachchh, Gujarat, using pheromone traps from 2020 to 2024. Results indicated a distinct seasonal pattern, with peak populations observed during post-monsoon and early winter (September to December) while lower population were recorded in the summer months (April to June).
