Dear Dr. Dhileepan

I would be interested in joining the group as I have run successful
"Bio-intensive management of Parthenium on non-cultivable land." and
developed Pusa Protocol for Parthenium Management-2008, using Zygogramma
bicolorata sand Kochea indica as main biocontrol agent at New Delhi.
Regards
RD Gautam
Professor of Entomology and Incharge, Biological Control Laboratory
Indian agricultural research Institute, New Delhi, India
