Our article on some common pests of lychee and their management has been published in the Arab Journal of Plant Protection (AJPP). We have mentioned the period of time when infestations are at their highest and suggested efficient control strategies. It could be interesting to you.

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.

Happy to see our collaborative (Belgium, Colombia, South Africa and Australia) works published online (Neotropical Entomology; Springer Nature). We have provided taxonomic and molecular diagnoses based on morphological and genetic data as well as historic literature for the identification, host preferences, and global distribution of Stomphastis thraustica (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), an approved biological control agent of Jatropha gossypiifolia in Australia.

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.

I have presented our recent experiments on host testing, oviposition behaviour and gall-inducing behaviour of Notomma mutilum as a potential biological control agent of prickly acacia. We have modified and standardised the colony maintenance procedures in the quarantine facilities for efficient host specificity testing. For the first time, we have studied the life-cycle of N. mutilum and explained the gall-inducing and oviposition behaviour. We have also explained the factors which can regulate their potential as a biological control agent of prickly acacia.
