representing the various stages of insect pests
and the nature of damage caused by them to seed,
seedlings, standing trees, felled timbers,
bamboos and also finished products. Exhibits are

genera. Important forestry pests like sal
heart-wood borer, teak defoliator, Meliaceae
shoot borer, poplar defoliators, deodar
defoliator, sissoo defoliator, babul stem and
root borer, their biology, life history and
nature of damage have been depicted along with
methods to control them.
Some of the

history of termites and their control makes a
very educative piece. Various commercial timbers

resistance property.
