Dear Rana
Your information about the presence of Parthenium in Kargil reagion is interesting. We have also recorded the presence of Parthenium in Anadman & Nicobar. This information was shared and published in the proceedings of Second Parthenium Conference held at Bangalore in 2005. I shall be grateful if you kindly supply me the informaion about tthe altitude, you got the presence of parthenium and the establishment of Mexican beetle. If you need more culture of beetle, please contact me, I shall make arrangement to send the same to you at the earliest by postal services in the packs we have developed for the purpose or you may come personally to take a good number of insects.
Regards
Sushilkumar
