ThesisItem Open Access POPULATION STUDIES OF HELIOTHIS ARMIGERA (HUBNER) AND ITS INSECTICIDAL CONTROL ON BIDI TOBACCO(AAU, Anand, 1983) Rao, B. Sreenivasa; Chari, M. S.Heliothis armigera (Hb.) is a serious polyphagous pest on various crops. In bidi tobacco it is a pest on capsules and hinders the production of tobacco seeds. It is one of the limiting factors in the production of improved varieties of tobacco seeds. The population of Heliothis moth was studied during the year 1982 using pheromone and light trap of ICRISAT model. The daily observations on the moth catches were recorded everyday throughout the year. The data on the population of H. armigera were correlated with the weather parameters and moon phases. The Heliothis armigera was active through out the year except in September. The maximum catches were obtained during February-March. The activity was gradually reduced in April and reached to zero level in the month of September.ArticleItem Open Access Serum Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium in Buffalo Calves from Birth to Sexual Maturity(TANUVAS, 1984) Devaraj, M; Patel, A.V.; Rao, B. Sreenivasa; Diwan, D.Kapana; Janakiraman, K; TANUVASA study was conducted in Surti buffalo calves weaned at birth and fed colostrum about 15-30 minutes after. They were reared appropriately to know the changes in serum calcium, phosphorus and magnesium from birth to sexual maturity. The phosphorus reduced from birth to puberty and showed and ascendendy towards sexual maturity. The magnesium showed little variation from birth to sexual maturity. The sex difference was significant for serum calcium and magnesium with former being higher in females and latter in males. The sex difference in serum phosphorus level was non-significant.
