Abstract

The mirid bug, Creontiodes biseratense (Distant) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is as a serious pest of cotton crop. Forecasting model by linking the pest incidence with season, crop phenology, biotic and abiotic factors enable to understand the dynamics of pest occurrence likely to occur. A data mining technique decision tree induction model is proposed for forecasting the pest incidence and study the population dynamics of mirid bug, C. biseratense in relation to its natural enemies viz., spider Lycosa sp. and coccinellid Cheilomenes sexmaculata Fabricius and abiotic factors. The results of the decision tree agreed well with statistical analysis.
