The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of biological control of sugarcane stem borer (Chilo infuscatellus Snellen) with an egg parasite Trichogramma chilonis in sugarcane crop. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with five treatments i.e. (T1; 30,000eggs/acre, T2; 40,000eggs/acre, T3; 50,000, T4; 60,000 eggs per acre and T5; Control) having three replications each. Experiment was conducted at Chack No.109 G.B. near Jaranwala, District Faisalabad, Punjab. Data regarding mean infestation was recorded at the same time from the control plot and from the...

The objective of this study is to investigate new approaches that may overcome the issuesof phase separation and high dislocation density in InxGa1-xN materials with high indiumconcentration, for the realization of high efficiency InxGa1-xN based solar cells.Two novel approaches are proposed that may overcome the basic challenges involvedin the InxGa1-xN heterojunction solar cells. The first approach consists in the growthof a thick multi-layered InGaN/GaN absorber, called Semibuk approach. These GaNinterlayers need to be thick enough to be effective and thin enough to allow carrier...
