The weather affects the population of insect pests and their natural enemies in okra fields. Warmer temperatures are linked to more jassid bugs, while cooler temperatures are linked to fewer whiteflies. Humidity and rainfall don't seem to impact whiteflies much. Shoot damage is higher when it's warmer. Wind and sunshine don't have a big effect. Overall, the temperature plays a big role in the number of pests and their predators in okra crops.
