This (P.hysterophorus) is never to be grown any where. If we want to use it for its beneficial aspects,we can get it from places where it is already growing in waste lands. Not to bring to any new place.

 

Secondly,It came to India in mid fifties, not in seventies. There are many references and pictures to prove this.

 

 Thirdly, the beetle confusion was cleared by ICAR through a committee of experts who found that this beetle is unable to reproduce feeding on any other plant. It can only take shelter for while start eating leaf but perish.

 

I would suggest reading the book" Parthenium and its Management authored by me and published by U A S, Dharwad. It costs Rs 75/-plus postal cgarges. This book gives exhaustive information up to 1997. It is under revision and will take a few months before it is published.
