Authors:   Department of CSE, SRM Institute of Science & Technology, Chennai, Kumar A.V.Sumanth
Published: May 2024

In addition to giving humans food, agriculture is a major source of resources for every nation's economy. Pests and insects cause damage to crops, making them extremely risky for the crop's overall growth. In the world of agriculture, early tormentor identification may provide significant challenges. Using insecticides is the greatest way to control the tormentor infection. On the other hand, overuse of pesticides is detrimental to animals, plants, and even the general population's automatic method of early insect detection. Digital image processing techniques are widely used in agricultural research and offer great perspectives, especially in the field of plant protection, which leads to crop management. This study discusses a novel approach to pest monitoring through early detection. Using a photography camera, one may create nonheritable images of pest-ridden leaves. An automated system that can identify the type of pests on crops in addition to examining the crops to detect infestations of tormentors is required. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is utilized for the categorization of images with and without pests, while the YOLO algorithmic method is used for tormentor detection. Key Words: Image Processing, Pesticides, Machine Learning, Agriculture, Plants, YOLO.
ENHANCING E –LIFE WITH IOT: A SMART APPROACH TO EFFICIENT ELECTRICITY MANAGEMENT
Authors:   Assistant Professor ,Sir C R Reddy College of Engineering, Eluru,West Godavari District-534007, Andhra Pradesh, India, R Trinadh
Published: May 2024

In the contemporary era, energy conservation stands out as a pivotal challenge in striving towards a sustainable lifestyle. Regrettably, it often falls by the wayside due to a lack of awareness and the uncertainty surroundings the lifespan of electrical and electronic equipment. Nonetheless, energy conservation remains the most economically viable approach to address energy deficits. Introducing “E-Life,” a ground breaking product, offers a solution to this dilemma while fostering public consciousness. Traditional electricity-intensive devices, despite having specified power requirements and lifespans, frequently outlast their projected longevity. However, they tend to consume more power than indicated due to aging effects. For instance, empirical investigations reveal that a 40-watt incandescent light consumes an additional 25% of its original power post- lifespan. To mitigate such inefficiencies and monitor excessive power consumption across all electronic equipment, we propose integrating the E-life algorithm into an IoT-enabled device. This device, based on the ESP32 platform and capable of managing two loads, provides real-time monitoring and prompts replacement when necessary. Experimental results demonstrate that this innovative gadget can yield energy savings of over 37% within a six-month timeframe for constrained loads.

Published: May 2024

Understanding the maintenance of diversity and the assembly of communities is a primary concern in community ecology. This study explored the phylogenetic structure of an evergreen broadleaved tree community in Con Dao National Park, Vietnam. The survey, conducted in December 2023, encompassed all tree individuals with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 2.5 cm within a 4-ha study plot. These individuals were identified by species name, and their DBH was measured. Subsequently, a community phylogenetic tree was constructed using the Phylomatic online platform. The 4-ha study plot was subdivided into there different subplots based on three spatial scales (25 m × 25 m, 50 m × 50 m, and 100 m × 100 m) and all trees were classified into three different DBH classes (2.5 cm ≤ DBH < 10 cm representing small trees; 10 cm ≤ DBH < 20 cm as medium trees; and DBH ≥ 20 cm as large trees). The net relatedness index (NRI) and net nearest taxon index (NTI) were utilized to evaluate the phylogenetic structure and infer ecological processes. Our findings revealed a consistent decrease in both NRI and NTI with increasing spatial scales and tree sizes. These results suggest an overdispersed phylogenetic structure within the community across different spatial scales and tree sizes. Additionally, negative density dependence was found to have a pronounced effect on the phylogenetic structure, with a more significant impact on tree individuals from small and medium DBH classes than large ones. This study underscores the significance of phylogenetic density dependence as a primary mechanism governing species diversity and shaping the community structure of evergreen broadleaved forests in Vietnam.

Authors: JIN Zhengjie , DENG Kehui
Published: May 2024

This paper puts the relationship between textile phenomena and textile historical materials in Chinese classical dramatic literature under the perspective of literature, history and textiles, introduces the goal orientation of "unifying historical-research and drama-interpretation", explains the nature of textile phenomena in classical dramatic literature, and the process of obtaining textile historical materials, and discusses the mechanism of "multi-dimensional mutual reference" of textile historical materials. The methodology believes that based on the mechanism of textile historical materials in Chinese classical dramatic literature, the positive process is the historical interpretation of textile phenomena, while the reverse process is the literary evidence of textile historical facts. The corresponding logical system attempts to solve the problem of "why Chinese classical dramatic literature has become a historical database for Chinese ancient textile research", and is expected to summarize the common regulations of extracting and studying the historical materials of textiles in various types of classical literary works.

Literature is the best way to improve and reform a society. The purpose of literature according to scholars is ethics for the sake of ethics and ethics for society. In the purposes of literature, a part of the second objective is mysticism. Mysticism (Sufism) means recognition, according to the dictionary meaning and its literal interpretation is to get to know Allah (SWT). Sufism is equivalent to doing, in the dictionary it refers to wearing white clothes and in the literal term; It is a practical strategy that purifies the heart or inner self. Sufis and mystics have always used their words for the reformation of the society, and they have also placed themselves in the first row in the practical field. With regard to this, Mr. Abdul Hadi Atayi Mullah can be named as an example who has Sufism and mysticism in his written works. This research has been done on Sufism and mystical patterns in the written work of Mr. Mulla's (Da Wakht Zarb). Through bibliographical study employing descriptive method, patterns such as (آب، آدم، آه، ازل، ابد، اثر، اثبات، اخلاص، پياله، تقوى، تورى (حرف)، جام، جور او حفا، حيرت، دلبر، رند، روح، زهد، ساقي، سفر، شيخ، صوفي، قلندر، کرامت، مُطرب، ميخانه، وفا او ګل) have been identified. This article first presents general information followed by the main issue.

Apart from the Nigerian indigenous Muscovy duck breed, which is endemic in the country, the Anas mallard is found in fairly abundant numbers, especially in the Northern part of the country. Although the mallard duck is widely perceived to be of exotic extraction, there is a dearth of information about its origin or how they got introduced into the country, leaving the subject to speculation. Hence this study was carried to trace the evolutionary ancestry of the mallard in Nigeria using the maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA marker. 603bp region of the mtDNA was analyzed following standard extraction and amplification, with specific primers. 20 Nigerian duck sequences in addition to 20 sequences harvested from Genbank representing major native regions of the Anas platyrhynchos, were used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees and matrices. The results revealed a strong genetic relationship between the Nigerian and Western European, particularly British ducks, and a weak lineage with ducks of Egyptian, Asian and Australasian extraction. The study reveals that the Nigerian mallard ducks are evolutionary descendants of the British mallard, whose ancestors would have been introduced into the country following the North-South trans-Atlantic maritime routes during the colonial era. The study did not find any evidence of a trans-Saharan introduction of the mallard into Nigeria from Asia via Egypt. Findings from this research sheds further light on the global dispersion of the duck from its original evolutionary epicenter in South-East Asia, and may be used for designing breeding programs.

Published: May 2024

Polyploidization is one of the most effective ways to improve plant height and yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). However, the molecular mechanism of its regulation is not yet fully understood. Here, we investigated the agronomic traits of diploid (‘Balilla-
2x’) and tetraploid (‘Balilla-4x’) lines of the japonica rice variety ‘Balilla’. Compared with ‘Balilla-2x’, ‘Balilla-4x’ exhibited significantly increased plant height, spike length and yield per plant. RNA-seq analysis showed that the expression levels of yield-related genes controlling plant height and panicle development (e.g., STH1,OsYUC9 and OsDEP1) were significantly upregulated in ‘Balilla-4x’ rice plants.
These results indicated that polyploidization changed the expression of genes related to agronomic traits such as plant height and spike length, thereby increasing rice yield. is study provides a further basis for understanding the yield of rice after polyploidization and can serve as a new theoretical reference for breeding high-yielding rice varieties.

Published: May 2024

A busca por diferenciais estratégicos que possam permitir às empresas enfrentarem cenários adversos deve ser constante. As empresas, ao se agruparem em Arranjos Produtivos Locais (APL’s), como o das indústrias de calçados femininos de Jaú/SP, buscam obter diferenciais competitivos. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste artigo foi elaborar um perfil das empresas produtoras de calçados do APL de Jaú/SP, seus modelos de gestão e produção. Para tanto foi aplicado um questionário estruturado, de forma presencial, em 53 empresas do APL de Jaú/SP, no período de Agosto/2014 à Julho/2015, o que permitiu compreender se elas estão ou não explorando as vantagens de estarem em um APL. Ao analisar os dados, verificou-se que as empresas, em sua maioria, são Micros e Pequenas Empresas (MPE), com baixo nível de cooperação entre elas, inclusive com uma utilização insipiente dos conceitos de redes de operações produtivas, muito embora estes elementos devam estar presentes em um APL. Observou-se um volume significativo de empreendedorismo, muitos jovens presentes ocupando os cargos de gestão, o que indica que existe espaço para aplicação de novos conceitos e novas filosofias, na busca de diferenciais estratégicos.

Futebol, racismo e dignidade: o centenário da Resposta Histórica do Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama e os seus impactos para além das quatro linhas
Authors: Guimarães José Alberto Lucas Medeiros
Published: May 2024

Relatos históricos apontam que práticas semelhantes ao que se compreende hodiernamente como futebol se originaram na China, há cerca de cinco mil anos. Todavia, foi somente no século XIX, na Inglaterra, que o futebol moderno passou a ser praticado. Embora haja discordância entre os historiadores, a tese mais aceita é a de que o esporte foi trazido ao Brasil por um estudante paulista chamado Charles Miller (1874-1953), em 1894. Rapidamente, o esporte virou febre na sociedade; todavia, esta adesão inicial era restrita à aristocracia brasileira, sendo as classes menos abastadas vistas com maus olhos pela elite que ligava o futebol a um imaginário de modernidade europeia. Em 1923, contudo, o Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama, composto pelo escrete de 12 atletas negros e operários – que ficou popularmente conhecido pela alcunha de “Camisas Negras” –, venceu o Campeonato Carioca daquele ano. Perplexos, a elite do futebol carioca, então, impôs uma série de entraves para a participação do Vasco da Gama no campeonato do ano seguinte, 1924, dentre os quais incluía, além da exigência da construção de um estádio próprio, a exclusão do aludido esquadrão, sob a justificativa de que não se enquadravam na conduta esportiva requerida pelo campeonato. Ante o exposto, em 07 de abril de 1924, o então presidente vascaíno, José Augusto Prestes, enviou uma carta endereçada à nova associação de clubes cariocas abrindo mão da participação do campeonato daquele ano e mudando para sempre os rumos do esporte no país. O método de abordagem adotado é o indutivo; o método de procedimento será o estudo de caso; a técnica de pesquisa desenvolvida será bibliográfica.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o crescimento inicial de milho fertilizado com biofertilizante obtido a partir do tratamento anaeróbio de manipueira. O experimento foi realizado em vasos, instalados em condições de campo na Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado composto por sete tratamentos (doses de 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 e 60% do biofertilizante de manipueira) e quatro repetições sendo esses aplicados em função da quantidade de água retida no solo. Foram avaliados: percentagem de emergência e índice de velocidade de emergência, altura da planta, diâmetro caulinar, número de folhas, área foliar, massas frescas e seca da parte aérea, massas fresca e seca total. Com exceção da massa seca da parte aérea e da percentagem de emergência, houve diferença estatística significativa (p < 0,05) entre tratamentos para todas as demais variáveis analisadas. O modelo de regressão que melhor se ajustou aos dados do índice de velocidade de emergência foi o linear decrescente. Para as demais variáveis, influenciadas pelos tratamentos, o modelo de regressão que melhor se ajustou aos dados foi o quadrático com decréscimo a partir da dose 40% do biofertilizante. As dosagens de biofertilizante acima de 40% influenciaram negativamente as variáveis de crescimento do milho.

Published: May 2024

An initial protocol was carried out in pots with forage cactus, in a greenhouse for 90 days and, in this, the dilution of SH_6.25% [1/16 - SH (100%)] of humic substances (HS) was determined. of commercial vermicompost (earthworm humus) as the best dose of stimulus to plants through the integration of dose-response curves. This concentration was then tested in the field when planting cactus. The application of humic substances occurred one week after planting, randomizing the planting lines, so that of the 24 lines implemented, half received application of humic substances and the other half did not receive any treatment after implantation. Morphological and morphogenetic analyzes of cactus pear were carried out and it was observed that the application of humic substances provided greater positive correlations between the morphogenic variables and the production of vegetative biomass since in the treatment with humic substances the plants obtained greater vegetative biomass, height, length, width w cladode perimeter and largest cladode area index. Higher levels of potassium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese and boron were also observed in plants that received humic substances. These responses show that the use of humic substances increases the production of palm biomass and positively affects the morphogenic characteristics of the crop.

ORGANIC FARMING: DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS IN RUSSIA, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET
Authors: SARATSEVA E.A. , DABAKHOV M.V.
Published: May 2024

The production of organic agriculture products has become one of the most growing areas of economic activity, with projected annual growth of 10-12%. At the same time, the demand for organic products significantly exceeds the supply, which is largely due to the lack of land that can be allocated for this production. Russia, which has significant areas of virtually unused land on which mineral fertilizers and pesticides have not been used for a long time, reaching 19.7 million. ha, has a significant potential for development in this direction. At the same time, considering that a significant part of unused territories is located within the zone of risky agriculture, and also has soils with a low level of natural fertility, degraded, arid, waterlogged, etc., the actual amount of land resources that can be involved in organic agriculture is significantly less. For the most complete introduction into circulation of unused agricultural lands, it is necessary to increase the knowledge intensity and manufacturability of organic agriculture, for which research work in the following areas is highly relevant: 1) optimization of the balance of humus and nutrients in soils, 2) breeding and seed production of crops for organic agriculture, 3) development of biological products for disease and pest control, 4) development of optimal farming systems taking into account local soil and climatic conditions, 5) optimization of agricultural landscapes based on increasing the diversity of agricultural land use. Along with the involvement of unused lands in the organic production system, the development of the industry largely depends on the system of training qualified personnel in this area, which should take into account the specifics of the technologies used, which differ significantly from traditional farming systems. To do this, it is necessary to update existing professional standards, which should include generalized labor functions related to the development and implementation of organic farming technologies, as well as knowledge and skills in organizing organic production. On the basis of updated professional standards, universities should form new professional competencies and a corresponding set of academic disciplines. The personnel training system for the industry should include various levels of training: agricultural classes, higher education, additional professional education.

The aim of the work was to assess the contribution of the following components - biomass and mortmass of tree stands, undergrowth, living ground cover, and forest litter - to the total organic matter’s pool of plant community. The object of the study was a territory of coniferous-deciduous forest located in Solnechnogorsk City District of the Moscow region, in which five permanent sample trial plots of 50·50 m were allocated. The greatest contribution to the total organic matter mass of studied plant communities was made by forest stand perennial parts (up to 87%) and forest stand mortmass (up to 14%), and phytomass of deciduous trees in stand containing 32 to 98%, which was connected with incompleteness of forest restoration succession process. The contribution of forest litter was no more than 3%; litter deposit was low (0,18-1,21 kg·m-2), which is not typical for spruce forests, as is the fact that all litter is of the destructive type. Living ground cover in terms of floristic composition and ecological-coenotic structure was typical for the subzone of coniferous-deciduous forests; its contribution to the overall productivity of forest biogeocenosis was insignificant. The spatial intrabiogeocenotic structure of litter reserves and living ground cover biomass distribution was disturbed compared to typical spruce forests due to the high proportion of deciduous species in the forest stand. Deciduous species inclusion in the tree tier, typical of the final stage of formation of a secondary coniferous forest during succession, caused a slight increase in the intensity of the biological cycle, which was indicated in this case by a decrease in the supply of litter and a simplification of their structure. Since the biomass and mortmass of tree stand make the greatest contribution to the sequestration of carbon by forest biogeocenoses, it is these components that require the most detailed assessment during monitoring observations, the purpose of which is to assess the carbon reserves of terrestrial ecosystems.
Papieża Franciszka teologia czasu w świetle filozofii Emmanuela Levinasa
Authors: Słomka Jan
Published: May 2024

Przedstawienie tytułowego problemu wymaga osadzenia go w historii myśli europejskiej. Dlatego w pierwszej części artykułu przypominamy główne sposoby rozumienia czasu. Platon opisał czas przez odniesienie do wieczności jako jej ruchome odbicie, a Arystoteles skojarzył czas z fizyką, ruchem bytów zmiennych. Podstawę bytu, którą opisuje metafizyka, uznał za nieruchomą, wieczną. Nowożytność rozwinęła naukowe pojęcie czasu ściśle powiązanego z ruchem i przestrzenią, czyli przejęła myśl o czasie Arystotelesa, ale odrzuciła jego metafizykę. Zasadniczej zmiany dokonał Heidegger, który umieścił czas w fundamencie metafizyki. Levinas skonfrontował myśl Heideggera z żydowskim rozumieniem czasu, wprowadzając pojęcie stworzenia. Franciszek przyjmuje Levinasowe rozumienie czasu. Pokazuje teologiczne rozumienie teraźniejszości, przyszłości i przeszłości – w tym znaczenie pamięci. Każda z nich należy do Boga i jest nam dana przez Boga. Ta teologia czasu ma ważne konsekwencje m.in. w teologii wyzwolenia i w eklezjologii. Analiza tekstów Franciszka o czasie prowadzi nas do sformułowania hipotezy: teologia Franciszka w swojej metafizycznej strukturze jest oparta na filozofii egzystencjalistycznej oraz na zakorzenionej w judaizmie myśli Levinasa

Essa condição, resultado de uma combinação complexa de fatores biológicos, ambientais e socioeconômicos, vai além da aparência física, causando comorbidades e impactando o bem-estar físico, mental e social. A cirurgia bariátrica, uma opção para casos graves e crônicos, objetiva reduzir o tamanho do estômago ou modificar o sistema digestivo, promovendo perda de peso e melhorias na saúde, porém requer avaliação e acompanhamento rigorosos. A obesidade tem implicações profundas para a saúde pública e a economia, exigindo políticas governamentais que promovam estilos de vida saudáveis e campanhas de conscientização. Este trabalho revisa a literatura sobre a perda de peso após cirurgia bariátrica, analisa fatores associados, complicações e estratégias pós-cirúrgicas, visando contribuir para uma sociedade mais saudável e resiliente diante dos desafios da obesidade. Foi conduzida uma pesquisa sistemática da literatura, encontrando 28 artigos atendiam aos requisitos e utilizavam termos relacionados à perda de peso após cirurgia bariátrica. A perda de peso após cirurgia bariátrica é influenciada por fatores interligados, destacando-se a adesão rigorosa às orientações médicas, a qual promove uma perda de peso mais sustentada ao longo do tempo. Diversos procedimentos cirúrgicos, como bypass gástrico e gastrectomia vertical, também exercem impacto significativo na perda de peso pós-operatória. O acompanhamento pós-operatório, liderado pelo médico, desempenha papel crítico, permitindo ajustes estratégicos e identificação de desafios. Além do monitoramento físico, o apoio emocional do médico é essencial, considerando as mudanças psicológicas e emocionais dos pacientes após a cirurgia. A análise das pesquisas revela o papel crucial do médico como parte fundamental da equipe multidisciplinar que guia o paciente ao longo do processo cirúrgico, desde a avaliação até a fase pós-operatória. Essa relação influencia a adesão às orientações, prevenção de complicações e obtenção de resultados bem-sucedidos. As limitações dos estudos incluem falta de padronização nos métodos de avaliação e dados retrospectivos, o que pode gerar vieses. A ausência de acompanhamento a longo prazo também limita a avaliação dos resultados. Futuras pesquisas podem se concentrar em estudos prospectivos com critérios uniformes e amostras maiores, além de explorar fatores genéticos, microbiota, marcadores oxidativos e inflamatórios. Estratégias de acompanhamento, manutenção de peso e impactos psicossociais também merecem investigações, enriquecendo a compreensão global dos efeitos da cirurgia bariátrica.

The emergence of multiple herbicide resistance in Phalaris minor is a major threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains of India. The present study was carried out during winter (rabi) seasons of 2020–21 and 2021–22 at research farm of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana for management of herbicide resistance in Phalaris minor Retz. in wheat using pre and post-emergence herbicide mixtures with different mode of action. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with 15 treatments, replicated thrice. Sequential application of flumioxazin 125 g/ha with pendimethalin (tank mix) 1500 g/ha fb clodinafop + metribuzin 174 g/ha resulted in significantly lowest weed density, dry matter of P. minor and broad-leaf weeds, and it was statistically comparable to application of flumioxazin alone or as mixture with pendimethalin as pre-emergence; pyraxosulfone + pendimethalin 127.5 + 1500 g/ha fb PoE (post-emergence) application of either mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron 14.4 g/ha; sulfosulfuron + metsulfuron, pinoxaden + metsulfuron 50 + 4 g/ha, clodinafop + metribuzin 174 g/ha, respectively. Phytotoxicity of flumioxazin was observed on wheat after 2–3 days of 1st irrigation i.e. 25 DAS (days after sowing). Application of pyroxasulfone + pendimethalin pre fb PoE mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron resulted in significantly higher grain yield (5847 and 5369 kg/ha, during 2021 and 2022, respectively) as compared to other herbicides.

Yellow stem borer [Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker)], is a major pest of low-land rice (Oryza sativa L.), causing 30–40% yield losses. The use of biological control agents to suppress yellow stem borer (YSB) population and damage across Asia includes inundative releases of the egg parasitoid, Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead. However, information on the time and number of parasitoids’ releases are lacking to control YSB in summer low-land rice. Therefore, an experiment was conducted during summer seasons of 2018 and 2019 at ICAR-National Institute of Biotic Stress Management, Raipur, Chhattisgarh to standardize the time and number of T. japonicum releases for effective biocontrol of YSB. Experiment consisted of 3 different treatment schedules, viz. T1, Four releases of T. japonicum at weekly intervals on the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th days after planting (DAT); T2, Four releases of T. japonicum at weekly intervals on the 14th, 21st, 28th, 35th DAT; T3, Four releases of T. japonicum at weekly intervals on the 21st, 28th, 35th, 42nd DAT; and T4, Control (no release of wasps). Significant reduction of YSB-induced damage symptoms was observed in the treatment schedule (T2) consisting of four releases of T. japonicum (@50,000 wasps/ha/release) at weekly intervals on the 14th, 21st, 28th, 35th DAT of rice which significantly reduced the dead heart (9.1%, 45.83% reduction over control) and the white ear (1.8%, 47.05% reduction over control), as compared to untreated control plots (T4) (16.8% dead heart, 3.4% white ear) in summer 2018. Similarly, in summer 2019, the reduction in dead heart and white ear by the treatment (T2) was 43.35% and 46.15% over control, respectively. The significant reduction of YSB-induced damages corresponded with the increased grain yield in (T2) from 2018–19 i.e. 12.74–20.18% across the seasons. The results suggest that the (T2) augmentative releases provided ecologically viable bio-control of YSB during the summer seasons in low-land rice.

Present study was carried out during 2018–23 at Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal with a view to ascertain the seasonal incidence of major insect pests and occurrence of new emerging pests of banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) crop. The study revealed that leaf and fruit scarring beetle Basilepta subcostata (Jacoby) was most dominating insect-pest followed by rugose spiralling whitefly (Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin). All the studied weather parameters collectively influenced 90, 87, 87 and 77% of variations in the incidence of B. subcostata (Jacoby), Odioporus longicolis (Olivier), A. rugioperculatus (Martin) and Oligonychus sapienticolus (Gupta), respectively. Barring Oligonychus sapienticolus (Gupta), all other studied insects had significant positive correlation with different weather parameters except sunshine hours that showed positive correlation with the spider mite. Besides, few insects were recorded as emerging problem of banana crop in this state like banana lace wing bug Stephanitis typica (Distant), sucking pest of banana foliage and brown tussock moth Olene mendosa (Hubner) feeding on the unfurled leaf of the seedling suckers and thus causing considerable damage.
