The seasonal activity of cutworms, Agrotis spp., polyphagous pest species infesting several agricultural and horticultural crops was monitored through ICRISAT model mercury light trap for a total of 112 weeks commencing from I week of June, 1983 to IV week of October, 1986. The moth activity was high from July to October (Kharif season) attaining peak during August-September when heavy infestation of cutworm larvae on various crop seedlings was also noticed. The number of moths attracted to trap ranged from zero to 46 (weekwise) and zero to 87 (month wise). Decline in moth activity from December onwards was attributed to reduced larval due to the decrease in availability of hosts in seedling stage. Multiple regression (Y= -1.330 - 0.009x1 -0.053x2 - 0.001x3 + 0.019x4 - 0.008x5 + 0.085x6) studies revealed evening RH (X4), minimum temperature (x6) and wind velocity (x2) as factors exerting greater influence on moth flight.
