...r with two peaks, one in pre-monsoon and another in post-monsoon i.e., period prior initiation of winter season. During the faunastic survey in betelvine, a new species of Aleurocanthus (description under process) was recorded from West Bengal. This had also been found to occur on Piper longum L. Another species, A. nubilance (Buckton) which was recorded on betelvine in Bangladesh during 1900, was not recorded in this area. Detection of host resistance against...

Biological control of foot rot of betelvine (Piper betle L.) caused by Phytophthora parasitica Dastur
...ha-1 was applied once at pre-monsoon, twice during pre- and post- monsoon and four times at quarterly intervals. T. harzianum inoculated in 500 kg oil cake ha-1was applied at quarterly intervals. Bordeaux mixture (BM) was used to compare the treatments in preventing the intensity of foot rot. The results revealed that minimum foot rot disease occurred where four drenching and eight sprayings of BM at monthly and fortnightly intervals respectively were applied ...

...nts seems to be equal in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon and there is a seasonal variation between the numbers of species in different localities. However, there were no morphological changes within the species. The present investigation showed that there were no intra-specific nucleotide alterations within M. meltada and T. indica and low intraspecific variation within B. indica and R. rattus at a greatest 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. T. indica and R. rattus had...
