This study explores the diversity, relative abundance, evenness, and richness of pollinators in the Rajshahi University Campus, in Bangladesh. A total of 625 individuals belonging to both invertebrates and vertebrates were recorded. Among the invertebrates, 44 insect species in five orders such as Hymenoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera were collected. The results revealed that the Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera were more abundant. Around 17 vertebrates in four orders, including Aves and Mammalia were also recorded. The diversity indices were: H'=3.82, with the Evenness (E=0.93), and Margalef’s Richness Index (d=9.32). Also 59 pollinator-visiting plants were enlisted.

The genus Conochironomus Freeman is recorded for the first time from India. The known species C. tobaterdecimus (Kikuchi and Sasa, 1990) is redescribed and illustrated. DNA barcoding of C. tobaterdecimus is also done. The molecular barcoding infers us that species have a wide range of distribution. Endochironomus effusus Dutta, Majumdar and Chaudhuri, 1994 is proposed here as junior synonym of C. tobaterdecimus. A pictorial key and a tentative phylogenetic relationship of the described species are also given based on known males.
印度首次记录到 Conochironomus Freeman 属。对已知物种 C. tobaterdecimus（Kikuchi 和 Sasa，1990 年）进行了重新描述并绘制了插图。还对 C. tobaterdecimus 进行了 DNA 条形编码。分子条形编码结果表明，该物种的分布范围很广。Endochironomus effusus Dutta, Majumdar and Chaudhuri, 1994 在此被提议为 C. tobaterdecimus 的小异名。根据已知的雄性物种，还给出了描述物种的图解关键和暂定系统发育关系。

An experiment was conducted to know the effect of thermal stress on the biological attributes of the parasitoid Aenasius arizonensis Girault of the cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley. The results revealed that temperature showed a significant effect on the biological fitness traits of the A. arizonensis; when exposed to 32°C, parasitisation, fecundity, female sex ratio and adult longevity. At 32°C these viz., parasitisation (77%), sex ratio (63.46) and days taken from oviposition to mummy formation (6.4) were found to be the highest. Other fitness traits like fecundity (142.8) and developmental duration (11.2 - males, 12.6 - females) were found to be the highest at 27°C. These parameters gradually decreased with increasing temperature, indicating a negative relationship. Morphometrics of adults revealed that mean length and breadth of mummies, total length and breadth of adult male and females, total width of head, total length of antenna and total hind tibial length were maximum at 27°C as compared to those observed with high temperature treatments. Thus high temperature was observed to have an adverse effect on the growth and development of the parasitoid.

Nineteen groundnut genotypes have been evaluated for resistance to thrips Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood. Thrips incidence and foliage damage were assessed and correlated with the morphological and biochemical components. The results revealed that none of the genotypes were completely free. Three genotypes were categorized as resistant (Dh-256, RST-1-2020-12 and INS-1-2020-11). Biochemical analysis indicated that higher amount of proteins, wax content and chlorophyll content were recorded in the resistant Dh 256 and these have negative relationship with incidence and damage.

Pollination mode affects crop quality and quantity in several economically significant crops. This study examined the effects of open pollination, Apis cerana pollination, hand, hand+ self-pollination, and self-pollination on pomegranate fruits. Open-pollinated plants had higher fruit length, weight, rind thickness, total soluble sugars, reducing sugar content, non-reducing sugar content, and total soluble solids, followed by A. cerana pollinated plants. A. cerana pollination increased pomegranate output and quality, including fruit shape, aril weight, TSS, and sugar content. The study found that open pollination and A. cerana integration increase pomegranate fruit yield and quality. A. cerana integration boosts farmers' income and conserves biodiversity.

The present study was conducted in the Mahamaya Reserve Forest area of Kokrajhar, Assam for one year from 2021 to 2022 to record the moths found in the area. A total of 129 species were identified, belonging to 20 families and 114 genera. The most predominant are the Erebidae and Crambidae, with 13 species being identified as new records from this region of Assam. The diversity indices revealed moderate dominance (D 0.19) of moths in the study sites. Simpson diversity with 0.8, Shannon diversity presented 2.1 moderate diversity. Margalef index value with 4.012 at par and Berger-Parker index 0.3 indicated a good diversity of moths in the region.

Tomato pin worm Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is one of the most destructive pests. This experiment was undertaken to evaluate the performance of selected insecticides (chlorantraniliprole 18.5SC @ 0.3 ml/l, spinosad 45SC @ 0.3 ml/ l and profenophos 40% + cypermethrin 04%EC @ 2ml/ l) during 2021 and 2022 under open field conditions. Results revealed that chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC performed well in reducing the larva (2.80 and 2.60 larva/ plant), live mines (1.10 and 1.20/ plant) and fruit damage (7.58 and 6.08%) followed by spinosad larva (3.40 and 2.80 larvae/plant), live mines (3.40 and 3.20/ plant) and fruit damage (8.13 and 10.12%) during 2021 and 2022, respectively.

The present study identified 151 proteins from the salivary gland of cowpea aphid Aphis craccivora Koch, using LC-MS/MS analysis. These included enzymes mainly involved in the digestion and detoxification of secondary metabolites and proteins related to cell development and molecular function. Enzymes like peroxidase, trehalase, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, glutathione peroxidase, esterase, peptidase, carboxypeptidase, maltase, and beta-galactosidase were prevalent in the proteome. Additionally, several proteins were assigned to cellular and molecular functions of salivary gland. These proteins may be involved in host-plant interactions. Comprehensively, these results provide a database for elucidating aphid-plant interactions at the molecular level in the future.

This experimental study evaluated the effect of adjuvant supplementation on larval mortality of nuclear polyhedrosis virus under sunlight. Study revealed that Tinopal @1% provided best protection from sunlight and retained viral efficacy up to 68.75 and 66.75% in SpltNPV (native) and SpltNPV (NIPHM) respectively, against third instar larvae of Spodoptera litura (F). However, all adjutants resulted in significantly higher larval mortality as compared to control (virus alone) under sunlight. SpltNPV viral formulations stored at different storage conditions recorded minimum reduction in larval mortality, when stored in amber coloured glass bottle at refrigeration temperature (4± 2°C).
