The study found that major sucking pest populations showed a positive correlation with minimum temperature and humidity levels.
Natural enemy populations experienced a significant delay in response, increasing 2-3 weeks after peaks in major sucking pests.
Principal component analysis indicated strong associations between natural enemies and morning relative humidity, highlighting weather impacts.
For 10 years, the dynamics of pest and enemy populations were monitored, providing comprehensive insights into climate interactions.
