The thesis book Ph.D. (Ag. Entomology) 2017 the author has provided a sufficiently critical evolution from which one can deduce that work can potentially produce a significant contribution to the subject area. Litchi is a highly priced popular and major table fruit in Chhattisgarh. It comes to market in the months of May-June when the market is full of other fresh fruits particularly mango and jackfruit.
