Realized Heritability, Risk Assessment, and Inheritance Pattern in (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Resistant to Dipel ( Kurstaki).

Fabricius is a potential cotton and okra pest in South Asia. The realized heritability, risk assessment, and inheritance mode of Kurstaki (Btk) resistance were determined in the Dipel-selected (DIPEL-SEL) . The DIPEL-SEL strain had a 127.

Taxonomy and distribution of agriculturally important plusiinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from southern Punjab, Pakistan.

Taxonomic identification and classifications of insect pest genera and of the subfamily Plusiinae is very compulsory due to their phytophagous nature and potential to damage the cash as well as cereal crops. Taxonomy plays a key role in proper not only in identification and classification of the pest but also in designing a successful managing strategy. In current study, specimens of and genera were collected from different geographical areas of south Punjab, Pakistan and their diagnostic features were examined following taxanomic keys.

Yearlong association of insect pollinator, with flowering plants: Planted forest vs. agricultural landscape.

The yearlong association of a native bee, (Halictidae: Hymenoptera) was studied with 72 plant species in a sub-tropical planted forest and some adjacent agricultural landscapes at Multan, Pakistan. The study resulted in 66 interactions of with only 24 plant species in 15 families while other 48 plant species were not visited by this bee. The maximum abundance of (7-9 individuals) was recorded on and followed by , and (5-6 individuals).
