The present study was carried out to establish the biocontrol potential of Bacteriocin Class IIa (BacIIa) compound and a plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens BICC 602 on Lycopersicon esculentum (Tomato) Pusa Ruby variety infected with Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood nematode. The result of in vitro laboratory bioassay showed that application of BacIIa is safe for second-stage juveniles (J2) of M. incognita. The result of phytotoxicity test showed that BacIIa treated plants did not exhibit any toxic effects. The result of in vivo bioassay test revealed that combined treatment of P. fluorescens and BacIIa increased growth of inoculated plants in terms of shoot length, shoot weight and ischolar_main length as compared with inoculated untreated plants. Application of BacIIa and P. fluorescens also showed reduction in ischolar_main gall number and number of nematode eggs in inoculated ischolar_mains. PAL activity increased in ischolar_mains of P. fluorescens treated and P. fluorescens: BacIIa combined treated plants. Root protein content was greater in inoculated untreated plants compared to treated groups.Keywords

Present study was carried out to evaluate the mosquito larvivorous potentiality of two larvivorous fishes (Oreochromis niloticus and Lepidocephalichthys guntea) in laboratory condition against the larval form of Culex quinquefasciatus. Results of the density dependent bioassay study indicated that the predation rate of the O. niloticus was higher than L. Guntea all prey densities. The predation rate at light-on phase was higher than light-off phase in both the fish species and the consumption rate was higher in presence of river water than in tap water.Keywords

Mosquitoes are infamous creatures responsible for spreading many life-threatening diseases throughout the world. Prolonged use of chemical insecticides for mosquito control resulted in the emergence of some insecticide resistant varieties. Other vector control methods such as mechanical and biological processes could not impact much in restricting mosquito populations on a large scale. Hence, it was necessary to develop an alternative, eco-friendly mosquito control method. Genetic control of mosquitoes or application of transgenic mosquitoes may be a suitable strategy in this regard. It is the most promising new generation mosquito control method that has already started to be implemented in many parts of the world, with considerable success. The main objective of the present communication is to review different strategies of genetic control of mosquitoes, molecular methods to develop transgenic mosquitoes, field trials, limitations, and future aspects of using transgenic mosquitoes as a potential mosquito control strategy.Keywords

Present investigation was carried out to prepare a checklist of Odonate (Dragonfly and Damsefly) as a part of biodiversity profiling from the different parts of Bankura town, West Bengal, India. During the study, an opportunistic survey in the study area was carried out and 18 species of Odonate were recorded. Of them, 8 species belongs to Dragonfly variety and 10 species belongs to Damsefly variety. Among the Dragonflies, 1 species i.e. Paragomphus lineatus belongs to family Gomphidae and rest of the species belongs to family Libellulidae. Among the Damseflies, two families were recorded. Majority of the damselfly species (8 species) belongs to the family Coenagrionidae and other two species belongs to the family Platycnemididae.Keywords
