Dear Deba Prasad
Read your email in IPRNG group and learned about your concern to control parthenium. Rainy season is the most favourable season for the groth and germination of parthenium. Although parthenium can germinate thorught the year but maximum germination occurs in rainy season. Therfore, people should be more active to do some managemnt work agaisnt this weed during this season. You can do following work to fight agaisnt the parthenium:

1. Uproot from your vicinity
2. Motivate your freinds, colony residents and people about the menace and managment of parthenium.
3. Tell people about the uutility of parthenium. From parthenium quality compost can be prepared easily. This method is particulary suitable to farmers.Information broucher can be obtained from NRCWS by sending request to Director, NRCWS, Adartal, Jabalpur (MP)-4; 
4. Encourage local competetive vegetation of your area. For that purpose seeds can be collected when the plants are mature and these seeds can be broadcasted on the land covered with parthenium during April-May or before the germination time. Cassia tora locally called Chakoda is widly distributed and replacing partheium naurally.  the seeds of this plant can be collected during October-November and can be broadcasted on wasteland, community land and along the raod side during April-May to replace parthenium during forthcoming rainy season.Kikewsie seeds of other vegetation can be encouraged.

5. Release and augmentation of defoliating bioagent during rainy season. If this bioagent is available in your area, they may emerge from soil during rainy season and Ferburary-March. These beetles can be collected from the infested area and can be released in new area for wider coverage. If this beetle is not aviable in your area, you can obtain the sulture of this beetle from NRCWS by requesting Director. As this is the best season for its reproduction and estableishment. These can be released now.Kindly send your postal address. I shall try to send you the culture to release in your area during third week of July.

6. Try to make group of people interested in control of parthenium for the sake of society benefit

I leant that you sent an email to NRCWS to receive the culture of Mexican beetle but it was not provided.  Genearlly if we recive any such demand we try to send the culture at the earliest. At NRCWS, I am the concerned scientist to do this job. I wish to inform you that I did not recevie such email otherwise certainly you would have recived the bioagent.
