COMPARATIVE EFFECT OF BIOSAL® AND PYRETHROIDS (DELTAMETHRIN AND LAMBDA CYHALOTHRIN) ON ENZYMATIC ACTIVITY AND TOTAL PROTEIN CONTENTS IN HERMOLAUS MODESTUS

Abstract

Pesticides Biosal, Deltamethrin and Lambda cyhalothrin were used for the determination of total protein contents and GOT, GPT activity and inhibition in Hermolaus modestus. Observations showed that LC50s of biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin were 6.45 g/cm2 , 0.00004 g/cm2 and 0.349 g/cm2 , respectively after 24 hours of treatment of adults of Hermolaus modestus by Filter Paper Impregnation Method. The activity of enzyme GOT was observed 98.67%, 33.95%, and 83.61% after the treatment of biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin, respectively. The activity of enzyme GPT after 24 hours of treatment with biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin were calculated 89.26%, 73.07% and 47.58%, respectively. The estimation of total protein contents after 24 hours of treatment of biosal, deltamethrin and lambda cyhalothrin in H. modestus was observed 31.05%, 4.60%, and 24.57%, respectively.
