A study on the influence of different weather parameters on fluctuations of Yellow stem borer was carried in Purulia, West Bengal. Yellow stem borer showed that rainfall has significant positive impact, change in rainfall has significant negative impact, temperature difference has significant negative impact, rate of change of temperature difference has significant positive impact, limited difference of relative humidity has significant positive impact, wind speed has significant negative impact at 5% level of significance and duration of sunshine has significant negative impact at 10% level of significance.
