2 No. of students guided: M.Sc-7; Ph.D-1 Advanced Trainings acquired: Six International Exposure: One. Participated in the First Symposium of Tephritid workers of Asia; Australia and Oceania (TAAO 2016) w.e.f 15 th to 18 th August, 2016 at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Putrajaya, Malaysia, in which 80 participants from 20 countries presented their work. Presented a research paper entitled Effect of feeding phloroglucinol based diet on the fecundity and development of eggs of fruit flies, Bactroceratau (Walker) and B.cucurbitae (Coquillett). Also participated in the First International Fruit fly photography contest held during the symposium. ResearchActivities: Projects o Survey and surveillance of insect pests of fruit crops-state o Bioefficacy of insecticides and acaricides against insect and mite pests of apple and other fruit crops-sponsored field trials. o Seasonal carryover of peach leaf curl aphid, Brachycaudus helichrysi (Kaltenbach) using novel insecticides and other ecofriendly methods. Adhoc Project (UGC- just concluded) o Himachal Pradesh Horticulture Development Project (Entomology Component) Theses completed: Name of student Title Year Sunandita Fruit fly management in tomato 2000 Bhupinder Singh Evaluation of some insecticides against woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum(hausmann) 2003 Sunil Naram Incidence, intensity and management of bark eating caterpillar Indarbela sp. infesting fruit trees 2007 Neeraj Kumar Evaluation of some insecticides against pomegranate fruit borer Deudorix epijarbas Moore (Lycaenidae: Lepidoptera) 2010
