A field experiment was conducted at Vegetable Improvement Scheme, Central Experiment Station, Wakavali, Maharashtra, India during Rabi, 2022-23, for studying the seasonal incidence of insect pests infesting dolichos bean. Aphids (Aphis spp) and leaf miners (Liriomyza spp.) appeared during the 50^th standard meteorological week (SMW), while pod borers (Maruca vitrata) were first observed in the 52^nd SMW. Correlation analyses revealed that the leaf miners exhibited significant negative correlations with maximum temperature while the aphids and pod borer showed a positive non-significant correlation. The aphids, leaf miners, and pod borer showed a negative significant correlation with the minimum temperature. Aphids showed a negative non-significant correlation with the morning and evening relative humidity. While leaf miner expressed a positive non-significant correlation and the pod borer showed a negative non-significant relation with the morning relative humidity and a negative significant correlation with the evening relative humidity. Aphids expressed a positive significant correlation with the bright sunshine hours while leaf miner and the pod borer showed a positive non-significant correlation.
