This Issue:*/How to Combat Army Worms/ *and Some Other Good Things

*BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP? Assessing damage and economic loss 
caused by Heartwood borer (/Hoplocerambyx spinicornis/) of sal (/Shorea 
robusta/) trees. *Bhuwan Mani Sharma writes, "/I am a student of Pokhara 
currently in my final year of my Bachelors. I have planned to conduct 
research and project report on above mentioned subject. I am writing 
this email to all of you to know whether anyone has carried out research 
on this subject or not. If you have conducted research on this subject 
or know the persons who have done research on this subject you can refer 
me. I have a number of queries regarding this. I am more interested in 
economic valuation of damage caused by insects." /If you can help, 
please contact Bhuwan at swatantra_subas at yahoo.com 
<mailto:swatantra_subas at yahoo.com>**

*HOW TO COMBAT ARMY WORMS. - *In January, Andrew Biemba wrote, "/The 
Government (Zambia) is now fighting Army worms which are consuming 
anything green. This means that they will be hunger in the country. If 
at all you have the knowledge in combating Army worms or the chemical 
that can kill them please be kind enough to assist."/Here are some sites 
that may be of interest. If you know of more, please contact Andrew at
