Our article on “Impact of the leaf‐mining jewel beetle Hedwigiella jureceki on two forms of cat’s claw creeper, Dolichandra unguis‐cati” has been published in Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata. In this study, we have evaluated how effective the Hedwigiella jureceki would be in suppressing the invasive cat’s claw creeper in Australia. You may find it interesting.

Our research shows that the diamondback moth eggs’ ability to withstand rain is influenced by the characteristics of the leaf surface. It is clear that the females alter their oviposition techniques when challenged by various host plants or leaves with diverse surface characteristics in order to maximise egg survival when exposed to rain.

Our manuscript on “Efficacy of different bagging techniques for the management of litchi fruit borer (Conopomorpha sinensis)” has been published in the Journal of Bangladesh Agricultural University. We have evaluated different bagging techniques solely or in association with conventional management practices to minimize litchi fruit borer infestations.
