Study On Starvation-induced Physiological Changes in Nezara Viridula Linn., A Pest of Important Crops, in the Context of its Agricultural Significance in India and Bhutan.

Key Points

• The study investigates the physiological changes in Nezara viridula due to starvation and its implications for agriculture.
• Field observations of Nezara viridula populations in maize and bajra crops.
• Assessment of physiological changes during starvation periods.
• Analysis of pest impact on crop yield in farmland.
• High populations of Nezara viridula observed during March-May.
• Starvation leads to observable physiological responses that may influence pest behavior.
• Significant economic implications for maize and bajra crops in Bihar and Western Uttar Pradesh.
