Abstract Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) utilises multiple mechanisms to facilitate its dispersal. It has been speculated that the cypsela, propagule of this species, can be dispersed by water under varying environmental conditions. Four experiments were conducted test hypothesis, using simulated shaking and immersion floating ability viability in water. The influence acidity medium on cypsela was also examined. Our results revealed freshly harvested cypselae could float river for...
The water lily aphid (Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae) is a highly polyphagous herbivore that causes severe damage to many terrestrial and aquatic plants, especially lotus. Due environmental concerns about pollution other issues caused by chemical control methods, there an urgent need develop effective sustainable methods. harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) well-known predator may pose potential threat R. nymphaeae. To study the predation ability of H. axyridis at different developmental stages...

Abstract Invasive plants may be attacked both above ground and below ground. Few studies have, however, investigated the simultaneous effects of above‐ground below‐ground herbivory. In present study, we report beetle herbivory nematode infection on alligator weed, Alternanthera philoxeroides , an invasive plant in China. We found that root‐knot Meloidogyne incognita widely occurred south To examine its effect conjunction with herbivory, conducted a field common garden experiment local insect...
Abstract Wind dispersal is considered to be a potentially important mode of spread for parthenium weed ( Parthenium hysterophorus L.), an invasive Asteraceae herb worldwide significance. However, empirical evidence the role wind on seeds (achenes) in natural landscapes lacking. The results simulation study undertaken at tunnel facility, Australia, indicated that distance achenes largely determined by velocity (109–131% increase where doubled) and plant release height (75–80% when doubled)....
The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, is a valuable asset in integrated pest management (IPM); however, issues related to low-temperature storage and transportation have resulted low hatching rate, while the use of pesticides may lead non-target effects against this natural enemy during field application. Fluctuating thermal regimes (FTR) been shown be beneficial storage, type concentration insecticides used are crucial for application H. axyridis. Despite this, little research has...
