a) Identified the false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis 1st time as one of the damaging mite pests causing significant damage in pointed gourd.
b) The rice spider mite, Oligonychus oryzae observed 1st time as a major mite
pest of banana under Gangetic plains and appear in destructive form during warm and dry months of the year.
