In India, melon fruit fly Zeugodacus cucurbitae Coquillett is a destructive insect pest of cucurbits. This study evaluated its attraction towards gel protein bait, an improvised version of liquid protein bait, found to be attractive in previous studies in snake gourd. Two field experiments were conducted for four months each (preliminary one - January to April, 2023; and confirmatory one - April to July, 2023). In early fruiting and fruiting stages, gel protein bait significantly attracted more females than the liquid protein bait; as regards male, cuelure trap attracted more followed by gel protein and liquid protein bait traps. Evaporation of gel protein bait in the field conditions was comparatively less from that of liquid protein bait.

The seasonal incidence of major insect pests on pea Pisum sativum at different growth stages has been assessed in this study. Major pests observed include gram pod borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner), blue butterfly Lampedes boeticus (L.), pea leaf miner Chromatomyia horticola Goureau and pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris). These results revealed that peak incidence of H. armigera (7.80 larvae/ plant) and L. boeticus (8.60 larvae/ plant) was during the 8th and 9th SMW, respectively; while for C. horticola (5.50 larvae/ leaf) and A. pisum (94.1 aphids/ plant) it was 5th SMW. Helicoverpa armigera incidence revealed a significant negative correlation with minimum temperature (r= -0.628) while for L. boeticus it was positive one with maximum temperature (r= 0.604). The incidence of C. horticola was observed to be significantly negatively correlated with minimum temperature and rainfall (r= -0.826 and r= -0.584, respectively); while A. pisum revealed a significant negative correlation with minimum temperature (r= -0.806).

The distribution, coexistence and natural enemies of the woolly whitefly Aleurothrixus floccosus Maskell (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) was assessed on guava (var Lucknow 49) in southern districts of Tamil Nadu viz., Madurai, Dindigul and Virudhunagar during January-July 2023. Identity of A. floccosus was established by the characteristic features on the puparium of the presence of submarginal setae and uninterrupted submarginal fold at the vasiform orifice. Results of the roving surveys from all the surveyed locations indicated that the nymphal population was found to be the highest on the middle canopy (43.75/ 2.5 sq.cm/10 leaves) followed by bottom canopy (27.73) and top canopy (13.10). However, population of eggs and adults were maximum on the top canopy (39.92, 1.95/ 2.5 sq.cm/ 10 leaves) compared to middle (25.91, 1.43) and bottom (10.75, 1.26) canopies. On guava leaves, woolly whitefly was found predominant and cooccurred with the spiralling whitefly Bondars nesting whitefly, rugose spiralling whitefly, two-tailed mealybugs, aphids and scale insects. No promising parasitoids for A. floccosus were present in the surveyed location. Generalist predators, Dichochrysa sp. (Chrysopidae : Neuroptera) ladybird beetles and spiders were found associated with A. floccosus.

Heavy metal accumulation in feeder insects is becoming a major food safety concern as it is a threat to human health through the transmission of toxic compounds into the human food chain. For the determination of heavy metals in Tenebrio molitor feeder insect by ICP-MS, an accurate and sensitive approach has been devised and validated in this study. The criteria for new methods, such as linearity and range, accuracy, precision, selectivity, limit of detection, and limit of quantitation are used to verify this method. The current technique exhibits linearity with correlation coefficient values not less than 0.99. The developed method shows accuracy ranging from 91.13 to 104.93%. When the RSD of the responses of replicates of the metals at specification levels is less than 20%, the approach is also precise. This method enables the detection and quantification of certain metals at low concentrations due to their low limit of detection and limit of quantification.

The present work incorporates new distributional records of the genus Bombus (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) from Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (NDBR) of Western Himalaya covering some major habitats/localities. A total of nine species were collected viz. B. albopleuralis, B. asiaticus, B. festivus, B. jacobsoni, B. keriensis, B. melanurus, B. rufofasciatus, B. simillimus and B. tunicatus distributed over five subgenera with elevation ranging from 2500-3500 masl. Out of nine species B. tunicatus was already recorded from the study area (Gupta, 1997). The remaining eight species were documented for the first time; B. tunicatus was observed to be the most prominent species with respect to number of males. The identified species comprised individuals of worker and male castes. In addition, some food plants of these bees were also recorded for the first time.

This study is on the diversity, abundance of floral visitors, foraging rate and speed of major pollinators in aonla orchard. Aonla flowers were observed with 22 floral visitors belonging to the Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Tetragonula iridipennis was the most abundant floral visitor followed by Apis cerana indica and A. dorsata. Number of flowers visited by A. cerana indica (13.46 flowers/ min) and T. iridipennis (8.26) was maximum during 1100-1200 hr. The time spent by A. cerana indica (6.24 sec/flower) and T. iridipennis (6.20) was also maximum during 1100-1200 hr.

The morphometry of life stages of the pink boll worm Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) was evaluated at four temperature levels of 20, 25, 30 and 35°C to assess the impact of temperature. Measurement of larval head capsule width, body length, body width and weight on cotton at 20°C were 0.68, 0.87, 0.98 and 1.24 mm, 2.27, 5.80, 7.46 and 10.60 mm, 1.08, 1.58, 1.68 and 2.53 mm and 0.40, 2.84, 24.42 and 64.21 mg for I, II, III and IV larval instars, respectively. The mean pupal length and weight of male and female varied significantly when reared at different temperature levels.

In this study, the effects of glyphosate on the biology and fitness of the biocontrol agent Zygogramma bicolorata against parthenium weed. Bioassay of glyphosate was conducted using a minimum range of the field-recommended dose (0.408%). Results showed that indirect exposure to glyphosate caused significant mortality of I, II, III, and IV instar Z. bicolorata grubs. The highest mortality (23.60%) was recorded in the first instar. Furthermore, the total larval developmental period was significantly prolonged in the group exposed to glyphosate (19.50 days) compared to the unexposed group (17.73 days). The application of glyphosate also caused a variation in pupation period. In addition, the longevity of both male and female Z. bicolorata was negatively impacted by glyphosate treatment. Overall, these findings suggest that glyphosate has an ecotoxic effect on Z. bicolorata and may have significant implications for its use as a biocontrol agent for parthenium. It is important to carefully consider the potential risks associated with the use of herbicides and ensure that they are used in a safe and responsible manner to minimize any negative impacts on non-target organisms.
本研究探讨了草甘膦对生物控制剂 Zygogramma bicolorata 的生物学和适应性的影响。草甘膦的生物测定是在田间推荐剂量（0.408%）的最小范围内进行的。结果表明，间接接触草甘膦会导致 I、II、III 和 IV 期双色茨菰蛴螬大量死亡。第一龄幼虫的死亡率最高（23.60%）。此外，与未施用草甘膦组（17.73 天）相比，施用草甘膦组的幼虫总发育期明显延长（19.50 天）。草甘膦的施用也导致了蛹期的变化。此外，草甘膦处理对雌雄双色虫的寿命也有负面影响。总之，这些研究结果表明，草甘膦对 Z. bicolorata 有生态毒害作用，可能会对将其用作半知菌的生物控制剂产生重大影响。必须仔细考虑使用除草剂的潜在风险，并确保以安全和负责任的方式使用除草剂，以尽量减少对非目标生物的负面影响。

The present study is on the effect of neonicotinoids and biopesticides on the foraging behaviour of honey bee Apis mellifera L. on rapeseed (Brassica rapa). Four insecticides and two neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, thiamethoxam) and one bioinsecticide spinosad, and another botanical insecticide nimbicidine were sprayed during peak flowering period and the number of visiting bees on rapeseed flower compared with untreated control. The results revealed that reduction over control was found higher with neonicotinoids i.e., imidacloprid and thiamethoxam treated plots followed by spinosad and the lowest was in nimbecidine treated plots. The order of repellency of insecticides on honey bee foraging were neonicotinoids > spinosad >nimbecidine.

Black soldier fly Hermetia illucens L (Stratiomyidae: Diptera) was raised on a diet of rice bran and groundnut oil cakes at different temperatures (20± 2, 24± 2, and 27± 2°C) with a relative humidity of 75.5%; lifecycle was found to be the shortest at 27± 2°C, and adult longevity increased by two days. Also, there was a higher survival rate for larvae, prepupae, pupae and adults, and the fecundity and hatchability increased at this temperature.
