Bamboo, a fast-growing woody perennial grass from the Poaceae family, is widely recognized for its ecological and economic significance. Commonly referred to as "Green Gold" "Cradle Coffin Timber," it used in construction, food production, charcoal manufacturing, cottage industries. Additionally, bamboo plays crucial role soil conservation by enhancing biological, chemical, physical properties. Globally, covers approximately 22 million hectares, yet research on propagation techniques remains...

Alectorobius species are soft ticks primarily infesting birds, such as swallows, while Dermacentor hard mainly mammals, small ruminants. This study for the first time reported on morphological and molecular bases of two tick species, namely A. coniceps a sp. in Pakistan. The former was examined swallows’ nests Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, latter ruminants Balochistan province. In total, 25 were collected, with 14 morphologically identified (males = 9 females 5) 11 7 4). Following...

Pakistan’s predominantly exotic aphid fauna of over 300 species is chronologically based on sporadic patchy researches. Present study, conducted in the aphidologically uncharted Poonch division Azad Kashmir during 2017–2018, yielded 12 new alien species. Of these, Aphis (Aphis) sambuci; Hyperomyzus pallidus; Neomyzus circumflexus; Pleotrichophorus chrysanthemi; Uroleucon ambrosiae, and compositae are invasive species, while asclepiadis; (Toxoptera) citricidus; Macrosiphoniella (Asterobium)...
