“…Plants sprayed with boron and zinc chelates lowered the incidence of leaf folder as earlier reported by Premila et al, (1984). Hyrsl et al, (2007) reported that boric acid has adverse effect on survival, development and fecundity of insects. Hence, the present finding is well supported by above findings.…”

This study was designed to examine the effects of microwave radiation exposure on Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae. One to two day old larvae were exposed to microwave radiation at the powers of 70, 150, 300 and 600 W for different exposure times (1-50 s). Mortality ratio in larvae increased significantly with increasing exposure time at all powers of microwave radiation. Completele mortality was achieved at the power of 70 W and the longest exposure time (50 s) Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the larvae tissue were evaluated.. SOD, CAT, GPx activities decreased and MDA level increased in the microwave radiation-treated larvae tissue compared to control group at 300 and 600 W (P < 0.05). There was no significant DNA damage detectable at 70, 150 and 300 W for 50 s when compared with control group. However, 50 s of 600 W powers was showed effects on tail length and tail intensity indicating DNA damage.These results indicate that high powers of microwave radiation treatments cause some effects on the stored product pest E. kuehniella larvae.

Morphological alterations induced by boric acid and fipronil in the midgut of worker honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) larvae

et al. 2009

Morphological alterations, by means of histological and ultrastructural analysis, have been used to determine the effects of boric acid and fipronil on midgut tissues of honeybee worker, Apis mellifera L. larvae. In order to observe possible morphological alterations in the midgut, two groups of bioassays were performed. In the first one, the larvae were chronically treated with different concentrations of boric acid added to the food (1.0, 2.5 and 7.5 mg/g). In the second group, the larvae were fed with diets containing different concentrations of fipronil (0.1 and 1 microg/g) and compared with control groups without these chemical compounds. In the first bioassay, the larvae were collected on day 3 and in the second bioassay on day 4, when the mortality rate obtained in the toxicological bioassay was not very high. The larval midguts were removed and processed for morphological analyses using a light and transmission electron microscopy. We observed cytoplasmic vacuolizations, with the absence of autophagic vacuoles, and chromatinic compacting in most of the cells in the groups treated with pesticides. The morphological alterations were far greater in the larvae treated with boric acid than in the larvae treated with fipronil. Our data suggest that the midgut cell death observed was in response to boric acid and fipronil action. This study significantly improves the understanding of the toxicological effect of these insecticides from the ecotoxicological perspective.
