Effect of Non-Steroid Compounds on Cotton Leafworm

M. G. Abbas, A. M. Hanafey and A. I. Gadallah


 
ABSTRACT

The effects of the nonsteroidal ecdysteroids tebufenozide on some biochemical of the haemolymph Spodoptera littoralis larvae was studied. This include the effects of total protein, lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), malic acid dehydrogenase (MDH), alkaline phosphatase (Alkapase), acid phosphatase (Acpase), aspartate glutamate aminotransferase (GOT), alanine oxaloacetic aminotransferaase (GPT) and food consumption. The data show that tebufenozide have a significant effect on the above mentioned enzyme activities. However, MDH, Alkapase did not affect with tebufenozide. Also, tebufenozide has no effect on Acpase, but has a great effect on GOT and GPT. The relative consumed rate for S. littoralis was decreased as the concentration of tebufenozide increase.
