Description A three year study (July 1993 to August 1995) was conducted at Hisar to observe the emergence pattern of Amsactamoorei Butler moths in the field in relation to temperature, relative humidity and rainfall. Laboratory-reared fullygrown larvae were released and allowed to pupate in the soil under caged conditions in the field. Moth emergence wasobserved to be directly related to the mean relative humidity (70%) coupled with mean temperature around 30oC.About three-fourth moth population of a generation emerged during the same year and of these ca. 80% emergedwithin 7-10 days after rains resulting above atmospheric conditions. The remaining moths emerged in the followingyear(s). For initiation of moth emergence a minimum of 70-80% relative humidity was found to be necessary. Subsequentmoth emergence could, however, be observed even at a lower relative humidity but not below 50%.
