“…Selecting hybrids with desirable branch characteristics can lead to improved productivity and more efficient space utilization in ber orchards. Similar finding was reported by Ahmad et al, in Phalsa in 2022 [21] . The minimum Days to bud break was observed in V1 (Thai apple ber) with (23.67) days followed by V2 (Miss India) with (24.91) days and maximum number of days required to bud break was recorded in V7 (Banarasi Karaka) with (31.89) days.…”

during the year 2022-23. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with 7 variety which were replicated thrice. The variety were V1 (Thai apple ber), V2 (Miss india), V3 (Kashmiri apple ber), V4 (Baal sinduri), V5 (Khata mitha), V6 (Gola), V7 (Banarasi karka). On the basis of our experimental findings it is concluded that the V1 Thai apple ber variety was found to be best in the terms of growth viz plant height, plant spread, number of buds, days to bud break, number of branches, chlorophyll content, Survivability % It is also concluded that the best variety for prayagraj agro-climatic conditions was found to be V1 Thai apple ber for establishment.

“…Some recent studies have shown that native Apis dorsata Fabricius, 1793 and Apis florea Fabricius, 1787 constitute between 30 to 80 % of the total pollinators' abundance in various crops and play a vital role in pollination of many agricultural crops i.e., canola, radish, falsa, bitter gourd and pumpkin etc. (Ali et al 2011;Saeed et al 2012;Ali et al 2014;Zameer et al 2017;Akram et al 2022). It seems to be an excellent choice to conserve wild native pollinators and basic studies must be conducted regarding the biology of these species including foraging and nesting behaviors (Sajjad et al, 2008).…”

The wild honeybees, Apis dorsata Fabricius, 1793 and Apis florea Fabricius, 1787 constitute a large proportion of pollinators’ abundance on most crop species in Punjab, Pakistan. In the present study, we studied the foraging behavior of both the honeybee species and their comparative role in the reproductive performance of the strawberry at the research farm of The Islamia University of Bahawalpur. Both the species comprised 53% of the total pollinators’ abundance. Apis florea had high visitation frequency (0.449±0.03 individuals per 120 seconds) than A. dorsata (0.211±0.02). The activity of A. florea was the maximum at 12:00 pm while A. dorsata remained active in low abundance throughout the day. Apis florea exhibited a higher stay time but a lower visitation rate than A. dorsata. Apis dorsata proved to be an effective pollinator of the strawberry rather than A. florea in terms of fruit length, weight and diameter. There is a need to conserve wild honeybees under the current scenario of anthropogenic land use changes and intensification in agriculture.

“…However, owing to their inherent aggressiveness and substantial physical size (often twice that of an Apis mellifera individual), these bees evoke fear among the populace, prompting calls to pest management services for the destruction of their nests. Recognizing the vital role played by Apis dorsata as pollinators of plants and crops in the Bengaluru region, (1) it has become imperative to protect and conserve these important pollinators. To address these complex urban challenges within a megacity such as Bengaluru, we have undertaken the task of creating a comprehensive land cover map to be able to study their precise nesting and foraging areas.…”

The rapid urbanization observed in Asian tropics has resulted in extensive landscape transformations, giving rise to novel challenges such as conflicts of interest among citizens and threats to biodiversity. To facilitate informed urban management policies, there is a pressing need for contemporary land use and cover maps that provide precise insights into the evolving landscape. In this paper, we present the city of Bengaluru, India (covering an area of 365,879 ha) as a case study. We introduce an open-source-driven pipeline method capable of generating an updated 11-class land cover map at a high resolution of 10 m, achieving a global F1 score of 0.82. Notably, our proposed pipeline represents a pioneering solution that effectively addresses the persistent issue of cloud cover caused by monsoons, enhancing the utility of such maps for urban management, and planning in rapidly evolving regions.
