Abstract :

Bristle beetle (Mylabris pustulata :Meloidea) is polyphagous pest of many crops and weeds. Ipomea carnea (Besharam) is a fast-growing noxious weed of negligible economic value. However, it possesses polyphenols and alkaloids. It is reported that in Gunacasta Costa Rica insects from more than 40 famalies and 77 generas were observed feeding on extrafloweral nectarines of Ipomea carnea (Besharam) a morning glory plant (Keeler K.H.1978).Ipomoea (Ipomoea carnea, also called I. fistulosa) is among the most dominant and harmful and toxic weeds that have polluted the world’s tropical and sub-tropical regions including India. It is an evergreen, flowering, shrub with height ranging from 1.2 to 5 m and stem diameter between 1.5 and 5 cm.The shrub is branched, all stems of these branches are weak. It was initially used to make fences but has become very widespread due to its hardiness, high reproductive success, and very fast rate of growth. Its uncontrolled colonization of landmasses and shallow wetlands has proved threatening in terms of loss of biodiversity, loss of nutrients from fertile land and other forms of ecodegradation. The weed is so hard and flexible that it is able to successfully resist all attempts to control it by chemical weedicides.Blister beetles (Meloidae) are cosmopolitan in distribution except from New Zealand, Antarctica.
