White bud-like flowers of Parthenium auriculatum.
🌱 #Parthenium auriculatum is a smaller version of American Quinine / P. integrifolium. Slow growing and long lived with deep roots.
New work in #RESPhysEnt finds temperature modulates feeding attributes, biochemical assimilation of macronutrients and rate of development in larvae of #Parthenium beetles
