The Allodapine bee, Braunsapis picitarsis (Cameron) (Allodapini: Xylocopinae: Apidae) is polylectic and found to be an important pollinator for many agricultural and horticultural crops. As B. picitarsis was found to be cryptic to other species, the DNA barcoding was done to confirm the species identity. Their nesting sites were located at dried twigs of peacock flower tree, Caesalpinia pulcherrima (L.), and a total of 83 nests were collected from 2019 to 2021. The bees preferred nesting sites with an entrance diameter of 2.83 0.06 mm with a nest length of 5.38 0.30 cm. The total development period was 56.85 0.84 days in the laboratory. Pupa exhibited difference in eye colour and body pigmentation during their development. DNA contigs. The contigs developed were analysed for the presence of stop codons using the software MEGA 7. The sequences generated from the study was analyzed for sequence homology using nucleotide BLASTn at NCBI and submitted to BankIt, GenBank for the generation of accession number. Details of the species were uploaded at Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD systems v4) to generate the barcodes.

Agriculture is the most weather-dependent human activity and hence climate change significantly impacts agricultural productivity. In the present study, an attempt has been made to review the existing literature to document and assess the projected crops yield vis-à-vis actual yield of various crops in India. It has been found that most of the studies have projected decline in yield of crops due to climate change up to 2020 and in future. However, actual yield of various crops in India has shown increasing trend till date. Adaptation measures like the release and adoption of new varieties of crops and increase in area under irrigation, use of more chemicals and fertilizers, improved mechanization of agricultural operations, etc. have contributed in enhancing the crop yield. Thus, such measures should be strengthened by the Government for sustainable agriculture.
