Abstract
:
Abstract Insect growth regulators (IGRs) are insecticides that mimic insect produced hormones by regulating the developmental process. They, generally, have little or no mammalian toxicity, and are considered reduced – risk insecticides that are often exempt from tolerance requirements of regulatory agencies. IGRs, especially, chlorfluazuron, hydroprene and hexaflumuron (benzoylphenylurea) are currently studied more and more because of possibility of their use in stored products protection. Many of IGRs compounds used in the control of insect pests are known to affect digestive enzymes. Chlorfluazuron, hydroprene and hexaflumuron are tested topically at three doses of 0.25%, 0.5% and 1% for chlorfluazuron and hydroprene and 0.5, 1 and 2 µg / ml of hexaflumuron to investigate its effects on the activities of the digestive enzymes protease, amylase and lipase in Callosobruchus maculatus larvae. Digestive enzyme activities were affected by IGRs individually and in combination. When combined, the effect was more sever at low concentration. There were statistically significant differences (P≤ 0.05) in enzyme activities in combined and individual treatments. The combination three IGRs cause a two – fold decrease in enzyme activity even at reduced concentration. Clear dose – response relationships were established with respect to enzyme activity . A synergistic effect of IGRs was found when combined in low doses. These effects are most pronounced in early instars.
