AB - Parthenium hysterophorus, also called Congress grass, is a problematic weed
within Indian agroecosystems, inflicting notable economic and ecological
repercussions. This study examines the potential of employing Zygogramma
bicolorata, commonly known as the Mexican beetle, as a biological control
solution against Parthenium hysterophorus. The research assesses the
practicality and efficiency of integrating Zygogramma bicolorata to
combat Parthenium hysterophorus infestations in agricultural areas across
India.
