This Issue: How to Combat Army Worms and Some Other Good Things
BUT FIRST, WON’T YOU PLEASE HELP? Assessing damage and economic loss caused by Heartwood borer (Hoplocerambyx spinicornis) of sal (Shorea robusta) trees. Bhuwan Mani Sharma writes, “I am a student of Pokhara currently in my final year of my Bachelors. I have planned to conduct research and project report on above mentioned subject. I am writing this email to all of you to know whether anyone has carried out research on this subject or not. If you have conducted research on this subject or know the persons who have done research on this subject you can refer me. I have a number of queries regarding this. I am more interested in economic valuation of damage caused by insects.” If you can help, please contact Bhuwan at swatantra_subas@yahoo.com
HOW TO COMBAT ARMY WORMS. - In January, Andrew Biemba wrote, “The Government (Zambia) is now fighting Army worms which are consuming anything green. This means that they will be hunger in the country. If at all you have the knowledge in combating Army worms or the chemical that can kill them please be kind enough to assist.” Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you know of more, please contact Andrew at andrewbiemba@yahoo.com
