Abstract

Khejri (Prosopis cineraria) trees are well equipped to withstand the parched climate of Rajasthan. But they are becoming easy prey for hungry beetles. A recent survey by the Arid Forest Research Institute (afri), Jodhpur, reveals that insect attacks have taken a heavy toll on khejri trees in the state. The culprit has been identified as a nearly-four-centimetre-long yellowish brown insect, the shoot borer (Derolus discicollis).
