Abstract

Halys dentatus is a phytosuccivorus and polyphagous bug found infesting throughout the year on A. indica. There is a clear cut dimorphism in male and female. H. dentatus needs a precopulation period which ranges from 16 to 37 days with an average of 27.54±5.08 days. Female Halys denlatus takes 2 - 8 days with an average of 4.30±1.46 days as preoviposition time. There are five nymphal instars. The nymphal period in the insect under study varies from 152 to 194 days with an average of 175.04±10.26 days. There is only one generation of insect per year.

Abstract

Iphita limbata is a phytophagous, sap sucking forest dwelling bug which mainly infests Trewia nudiflora trees in Marshy forest area of Haridwar. Iphita limbata mates within three to eight days after emergence. The average duration of mating is 72 hrs. A preoviposition period of 3 to 7 days is required and takes 3 to 16 hrs for the entire process of oviposition and 2 to 29 eggs are laid as an average by a female in two batches. The newly laid egg is white transparent within a average length of 2.182 mm and width 1.258 mm. The average incubation period lasts for 15 days. There are five nymphal instars which undergoes five times moulding with an average of 50 days of nymphal period before emerging into an adult. It complete its life cycle in 55 to 79 days. The female survives longer (91 days) than the male (75 days).

Abstract

Parthenium hysterophorus L. is a weed that was imported into India along with the PL- 480 Mexican wheat seeds in the 50's. The weed has since then spread into uncontrollable proportions invading million of ha of uncultivated wastelands, roadsides, railway lines forest lands and also invading large forest areas, agricultural and baren land, in different parts of Uttarakhand. Zygogramma bicolorata pallister, a potential biocontrol agent of this weed is also reaching to these places slowly. It has been recorded from all the places duing summer and rainy months (April to September). Larvae and adults of this beetle are voracious feeder and defoliate the weed leaving behind only stub of the plant.
