The college campus serves suitable habitat for butterflies in the form of so many small and big green patches, mowed lawn, scrubland and shady bushy areas. The KRGC campus consists of 10 gardens and open grounds which are enriched in varieties of herbs, shrubs and trees. The current investigations yielded a total of 36 species of butterflies which belongs to five families found in the campus of Govt. K.R.G. College, Gwalior. Out of 36 species, family Nymphalidae dominated with 13species (36%) followed by Pieridae 10 species (28%), Lycaenidae 6 species (17%), Papilionidae 4 species (11%) and Heperiidae 3 species (8%). Among these species, 11 species were very common, 15 species were common, 6 species were uncommon, 3 species were rare and 1 species was very rare occurring. It was also noted that out of 36 species of butterflies, 33 species were recorded in post monsoon season which was heights in numbers, 31 species were recorded in summer season, 27 species were observed in winter and 21 species were found in monsoon season.","PeriodicalId":15705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies","volume":"3 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141690746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Correlations revealed a significant negative relationship with bright sunshine hours, and positive correlations with humidity, minimum temperature and rain, while showing negative associations with maximum temperature and wind velocity. Jassid populations ranged from 0.52 to 7.32/3 leaves/plant, following a similar trend to aphids and displaying correlations with weather variables, notably positive associations with humidity and negative ones with sunshine hours, maximum temperature and wind velocity. Thrips populations ranged from 0.48 to 5.72/3 leaves/plant, with correlations paralleling those of aphids and jassids, showcasing sensitivity to weather parameters.

The mosquito borne diseases chances and cases are showing increasing trend regularly in India and across the world due to some adverse environmental changes as global warming and climate change. Due to the lack of proper sanitary conditions, cleanliness and presence of open stagnant water sites and drainage, the mosquitoes population is increasing. The stagnant water is the breeding place for mosquitoes, as its eggs and immature stages survive in water. In India, a big number of people suffer from mosquitoes borne diseases every year, causing disease burden in public. The present study is focused on the control strategies of mosquito population in aquatic environment by aqueous solution technique, using some plant essential oils, EO, in certain concentrations mixed in water, such as Peppermint, Lemongrass, Citronella, Neem ( Azadirachta indica), Eucalyptus sp. Essential oils etc . The taken essential oil formulations were applied to test their repellent efficacy for adult mosquitoes by using liquid vaporizer machine in experimental box and room. In aqueous solution technique, the larval mortality was found hundred percent in the combination of Neem EO 1%, lemongrass-1% and Eucalyptus-1% after 24 hours. The LC 50 assessed as 0.4738%. The combination of peppermint and neem EO in 0.1% each was observed potent controlling mixture for larvae after experimental time period of 24 hours, with LC 50 as 0.0521 percent. The lemongrass and peppermint EO in 0.1% separately were found quite effective to kill hundred percent the immature stages of mosquitoes after 24 hrs. Neem and peppermint EOs were found effective killing in 0.1% combination. The repellent efficacy of taken plant EOs was found effective by using liquid vaporizer, LV. On exposure to plant EO mixture solution, the restlessness, convulsions, tremors, nervous breakdown and knockdown responses were noticed in adult mosquitoes. The experimental formulations repelled and knock downed the adult mosquitoes in iron net-wired experimental box and room, preventing from the mosquito bites.","PeriodicalId":15705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies","volume":"15 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141704600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the impact of feeding the silkworms with mulberry raised with different bioagents viz. , Purpureocillium lilacinum , Trichoderma harzianum , Trichoderma viride , Pochonia chlamydosporia and Pseudomonas fluorescens recommended for the management of root-knot nematode infestation. The bioagents were assessed for their impact on various silkworm development and cocoon parameters. Results showed that T. viride treated mulberry leaves significantly enhanced fifth instar larval weight (3.11 g), reduced larval duration (7.19 days), improved cocoon weight (2.02 g), shell weight (0.39 g) and pupal weight (1.67 g). Furthermore, the average filament length (1097.16 m) and denier (3.07) of the cocoons were superior in the T. viride treatment compared to all other treatments. The findings highlight the crucial role of mulberry leaf quality in sericulture and suggest that bioagents, particularly T. viride can enhance silkworm productivity, mitigating the adverse effects of root-knot nematodes.","PeriodicalId":15705,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141706059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
