Background: Fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera) is native of America is now considered as invading pest in India. It causes damage to maize, wheat, rice, sugarcane, etc. The aim of this study was evaluation of neem oil in combination with wetting agent (SuperStiker) as larvicide against Spodoptera frugiperda (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera). Methods: The present study was conducted to evaluate the larvicidal effect of neem oil (WA391: Nim Q) with combination of wetting agents (WA306: SuperStiker). Topical application of different combination of Neem Oil and SuperStiker along with control was given to selected days (2, 4, 6 and 12 days) larvae. Results: The result revealed that the highest mortality percentage was recorded with the combination of 2 ml Neem oil + 5 ml of SuperStiker in all selected larvae after 24 hours of exposure. Conclusion: Hence use of Nim Q and SuperStiker in combination was most effective for control FAW population. Therefore, this kind of study will motivate the use of more ecofriendly, less toxic control measuresto decrease the FAW population in agriculture field.

Acute myeloid leukemia with maturation (AML-M2) is associated with the 8;21 translocation. For the first time in an adult patient with AML-M2, a novel unbalanced translocation involving the short arm of chromosome 11 and long arm of chromosome18 with new breakpoints is presented. CD82 on band 11p11.2 and GATA 6 on 18q11.2 may play a role in the pathogenesis of de novo AML M2. The report with translocation (11;18)(p11.2;q11.2), as the sole cytogenetic abnormality provides more data on the leukemogenesis of de novo AML M2.
