abstract = "Rice (Oryza sativa L.) which is one of the major staple crops  of world is affected by wide range of insect pest during its growing period. This research was conducted to study the effects of various weather factors in insect pest incidence on kharif season rice (US hybrid 312) in Lamjung Campus. A fixed plot survey was carried out during 22nd of July to 24th of October 2017 on which major  insect pest were observed  in 20 hills of rice in 332 m2. The study revealed that  Rice hispa, white spotted leaf  beetle (Monolepta signata) and gundhy bug as a widely distributed  insect-pest in rice. Rice hispa showed positive correlation with minimum temperature (r = 0.155) and average relative humidity (r = 0.285). Whereas, white spotted dotted leaf  beetle got negative correlation with all weather parameters i.e. (temperature, rainfall and (RH) relative humidity). Similarly, it was found that gundhy bug has significant but negative correlation with minimum temperature (r = -0.600), maximum RH (r = -0.590), minimum RH (r = -0.612), average RH (r = -0.581). Pest forecasting, assessing efficacy of pest, regular monitoring and seemly pest management strategy could be the best option to cope incidence of pest under different weather factors",
