Present communication deals with 9 taxa of order Zygnematales (Conjugales by Fritsch 1935, Zygnemales by Randhawa 1959) of class Chlorophyceae. Genera Mougeotia Ag. and Zygnema Ag. each with 2 species while Spirogyra Link with 5 species are well flourishing along with other group of algae in different localities of North-Eastern, U.P. Morpho-taxonomic descriptions of species like Mougeotia sphaerocarpa Wolle, Mougeotia sp., Spirogyra bichromatophora (Randhawa) Transeau, S. biformis Jao, S. parvula (Trans) Czurda, S. hymerae Britton and Smith, Spirogyra sp., Zygnema insigne (Hassall) Kuetz and Z. vaucherii Ag. are mainly based on length and breadth of vegetative filaments, chloroplast shape, number, direction of turning, conjugation type, shape, size and position of zygospore. Two taxa, Spirogyra sp. and Mougeotia sp. have been described under open nomenclature system as the fertile parts are not preserved. These algae have been collected from various aquatic habitats of Bahraich and Gonda district of North-Eastern U.P., constitute new record for the area. Key words: Freshwater, chlorophyceae, zygnematalean algae, U.P. Ecoprint Vol.11(1) 2004.

Ballia is one of the important district of Uttar Pradesh bordering Bihar and surrounded by rivers Ganga and Ghaghara. Soil is fertile and the living mode completely depends upon the agricultural practices. Majority of crops are affected by weeds. The common weeds of kharif crops are Bergia ammannioides, Eclipta prostrate, Ipomea aquatica, Sida acuta and Tridex procumbens etc. The present communication is a survey report about weed flora associated with kharif crops. During investigation 77 weed species of angiospermic plants were found. The botanical names, families and flowering and fruiting periods of each species were studied.

Super-host plants are elegant models to evaluate the peculiarities of gall structural and nutritional profiles due to the stimuli of distinct gall inducers in temporal and spatial perspectives. Galls induced by congeneric insects, Lopesia spp. (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) on the same host plant, Mimosa gemmulata Barneby (Fabaceae) were analyzed to estimate if variations of 1 or 2 months in gall lifespans may result in differences over the accumulation of nutritional resources, and their compartmentalization both in cell walls and protoplasm. Mimosa gemmulata hosts four Lopesia-induced galls: the lenticular bivalve-shaped gall (LG) with a 2-month life cycle, the brown lanceolate bivalve-shaped gall (BLG) and the green lanceolate bivalve-shaped gall (GLG) with 3 month-life cycles, and the globoid bivalve-shaped gall (GG) with a 4 month-life cycle. The comparisons among the four Lopesia galls, using anatomical, histometric, histochemical, and immunocytochemical tools, have demonstrated that the longest lifespan of the GG related to its highest increment in structural and nutritional traits compared with the LG, GLG, and BLG. The differences among the tissue stratification and cell wall thickness of the galls with the 2-month and the 3-month lifespans were subtle. However, the GG had thicker cell walls and higher stratification of the common storage tissue, schlerenchymatic layers and typical nutritive tissue than the other three gall morphospecies. The higher tissue thickness of the GG was followed by the formation of a bidirectional gradient of carbohydrates in the protoplasm, and the detection of xyloglucans in cell walls. Current data supported the presumption that the longest the lifespan, the highest the impact over the structural and nutritional metabolism of the Lopesia galls associated to M. gemmulata.

Revised! EENY-008, a 5-page illustrated fact sheet by H. J. McAuslane, is part of the Featured Creatures collection. It describes this striking, wonderfully “exotic”-looking butterfly that is very abundant in Florida, and whose larva is the well-known “orangedog” that is a minor pest of sweet orange and other members of the citrus family — its distribution, description, life cycle, host plants, biological control and other control methods. Includes references. Published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, September 2009.

In the late 1970s, Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), was targeted for classical biological control in Florida because its invasive properties (see Host Plants) are consistent with escape from natural enemies (Williams 1954), and there are no native Schinus spp. in North America. The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pemberton 2000). [...]

Mites have hostplant specifications or host plants. Mites can be destructive and deadly of which is the host plants a mango crop. Mites on mango crops will cause the leaves yellow and fall off prematurely. This is will lead to the disruption of the productivity of mango. It is necessary for research to identify the mites that infect the mango crop. The method is carried out by direct observation. Mites were taken from the surface of mango leaves later in preservation with several levels of concentration of alcohol, and polyvinyl laktofenol. Then, observed under a microscope and documented for identification purposes. Mites on the leaf surface of manalagi mango (<em>Mangifera indica</em>) found two species, it is <em>Oligonychus</em> sp. and <em>Oligonychus ilicis</em> (Family: Tetranychidae, Superfamily: Tetranychoidea). <em>Oligonychus</em> sp. hallmark is rounded body shape like a spider, with a body is transparent and there are two long seta on posterior part. While <em>Oligonychus ilicis</em> has a characteristic elongated rounded body shape, red, and there is a short posterior seta. <em>Oligonychus</em> sp. and <em>Oligonychus ilicis</em> live as parasites on the surface of mango leaves that can lead to wrinkled leaves, yellow and to fall. <em>Oligonychus</em> life cycle starts from the eggs develop into Nympha and then adult.
