Thanks for your comments. Is it possible to put ICAR report at group.

I am still searching the answer of question that Zygogramma has been
tested on how many plant species before release? From where one can
get the list of these species?

I am also eager to know that whether studies have been done to know
the interaction of this exotic beetle with native insects in natural
ecosystem?

is under revision and will take a few months before it is published.
