Safflower, Carthamus tinctorius L. is an important oil-seed crop of Marathwada region of Maharashtra containing 78% linoleic acid, which is reported to reduce cholesterol level in the blood. This crop is being heavily infested by safflower aphids, Uroleucon sonchi (L.), Uroleucon compositae (Theo.) and Uroleucon gobonis (Mat.). Endaphis aphidimyza (Shivpuje and Raodeo) is an endoparasitoid of Uroleucon spp. on safflower. The larvae feed by sucking body content of host and completes their all-larval instars. The present work was carried out in Agricultural Research Farm of Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya (MGCGV), Chitrakoot, District Satna (MP) during rabi season of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. Safflower cultivar PBNS-40 was sown in random block design, different parameters of plant growth and yield were recorded. Release of 694444 number of females per ha recorded good plant height, primary and secondary branches, yield, seed weight, and highest number of seeds per capitulum at the aphid population of below 50 per plant.Keywords

Local larvivorous fish Aphanius dispar has potential for regulating vector mosquitoes. The consumption of larvae of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) by Rasbora daniconius, Puntius ticto and Puntius conchonius was evaluated in the presence of different prey densities under simple habitat conditions. The number of mosquito larvae consumed in fresh and ditch water at three seasons was observed. Only third and fourth instars of Culex larvae were used on a particular prey density of 1 to 10 (increase 100). The maximum and minimum value of larvae eating per day in ditch and fresh water were observed to 267 to 876 and 277 to 880 respectively. The comparisons for the pair using Tukey-Kramer HSD indicated the fact that there was non-significant difference. The respective mean values in fresh and ditch water were observed 525 and 493 respectively. The analysis of water (ditch and fresh) was nonsignificant (F = 1.0116). Rasbora daniconius species of fish played a dominating role in eating the Culex larvae in ditch and fresh water.Keywords
