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.

Professor of Entomology and Incharge, Biological Control Laboratory
