“…It is often used with stored grain crops because of its low mammalian toxicity [1,2]. Many new synthetic pyrethroids have also attracted much attention [3,4] because of their reasonable cost, the lack of insect resistance, and low mammalian toxicity . These and the other favorable properties of synthetic pyrethroids may well herald a new era in pest control.…”

The effects of sublethal treatments of malathion and malathion + permethrin combinations on activities of acetylcholine esterase (ChE), carbohydratemetabolizing enzymes (amylase; lactate dehydrogenase, LDH), protein-metabolizing enzymes (alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, ALAT, ASAT), as well as acid and basic phosphatases (AcP and AkP, respectively), and Kreb's cycle enzymes (isocitrate dehydrogenase, ICDH) were studied o n sixth instar larvae of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. In addition, the levels of lipid, cholesterol, glucose, glycogen, proteins, free amino acids (FAA), urea, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) were determined. Malathion (400 ppm) increased the activity of LDH (53%), as well as the concentrations of FAA (31 %) and urea (39%). Malathion treatments of 400 ppm decreased the glucose (20%) and glycogen (24%) content but did not affect other enzymes and biochemical components. Permethrin (200 ppm) and malathion (20 ppm) mixtures increased the activities of ChE (708%) and LDH (55%), and raised the concentrations of FAA (26%), urea (24%), glucose (23%), lipid (14%), cholesterol (21%), DNA (24%), and RNA (8%). The decrease in AcP activity and in glycogen concentration observed with malathion was sustained by permethrin in the mixture. Permethrin + malathion mixtures also depressed the levels of AkP (30%), ICDH (24%), and glycogen (36%). The intensity of effects commensurated with the dose and duration of insecticide exposure. Refeeding showed tendencies towards normalization of various biochemical parameters.

“…Recently, pyrethroid insecticides have been introduced and have exhibited exceptional insecticidal activity (Elliot et al 1978). The significant attributes of this group of insecticides are the high level of efficacy against a broad range of lepidopterous pests, low mammalian toxicity, and increased stability on crop foliage (Breese 1977;Ruscoe 1977).…”

Dosage-mortality relationships for permethrin, fenvalerate, methamidophos, and carbaryl against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) were determined under laboratory conditions by caging larvae on broccoli leaf discs, which had been sprayed under a Potter tower, and by spraying adults directly. LC, values were determined at 48 h. The toxicity of permethrin and fenvalerate to third instar larvae was 10 to 160 times more than methamidophos and carbaryl respectively. Permethrin and fenvalerate were 2 to 260 times more toxic than methamidophos and carbaryl respectively. The effect of post-treatment temperatures of 15°C and 25°C on the toxicity of the 4 insecticides to larvae was also determined. A marked increase in toxicity of pyrethroids, and decrease in toxicity of carbaryl, was observed at 15OC.
