Abstract
Studies conducted for a period of one year (from April 1982 to March 1983) revealed that temperature and relative humidity play a significant role on incubation period, pupal period, emergence percentage, adult longevity and fecundity of uzi fly,Tricholyga bombycis. Correlation between temperature, humidity and certain developmental stages is also established.
