Abstract

The assessment of the comparative effect of biosal (phytopesticide), deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin (pyrethroids) were made against two fodder pests, Hermolaus modestus and Hermolaus ocimumi by filter paper impregnation method. The activity of total protein contents, GPT (glutamic-pyruvic transaminase) and GOT (glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase) were affected in Hermolaus modestus and Hermolaus ocimumi against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda cyhalothrin. The activity of total protein contents in H. modestus was 31.053%, 4.607%, and 24.575%, against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively. The activity of total protein contents was observed as 24.202%, 15.25%, and 56.036% against deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, and biosal, respectively in H. ocimumi. The activity of GOT was observed as 98.675% for biosal 33.95% for deltamethrin and 83.619% for lambda-cyhalothrin in H. modestus. The GOT activity was estimated in H. ocimumi as 78.831%, 47.645%, and 71.287% against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively. The efficacy of GPT enzyme against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin was calculated as 89.26%, 73.07%, and 47.58%, respectively in H. modestus. The H. ocimumi showed GPT activity as 77.58% for biosal, 68.84% for deltamethrin, and 52.67% for lambda-cyhalothrin, respectively.

Highlights

Livestock animals are normally fed on green food, hay, and fodder crops
The present findings showed the activity of total protein contents after twenty-four hrs of treatment against biosal, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin in adults of H. modestus and H. ocimumi (Table 1)
The activity of total protein contents was observed as 31.053%, 4.607%, and 24.575% at the mean values of 0.182 g. dL-1 for biosal, 0.027 g. dL-1 for deltamethrin, and 0.144 g. dL-1 for lambdacyhalothrin respectively in H. modestus

Summary

Introduction

Livestock animals are normally fed on green food, hay, and fodder crops. In Pakistan, two types of fodder crops named temporary and permanent crops are being used. The continuous use of land for the cultivation of fodder crops or appetizing forage crops is stated as a permanent type. It was necessary to protect our main and fodder crops from their pests. Different plant extractions have been isolated from different herbal medicinal products including flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, and terpenoids. These remedial products play a vital role to prevent vulnerable organisms (AdjayeGbewonyo et al, 2010; Iqbal et al, 2015; Joshi et al, 2011). Researchers worked on cowpea pest Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) and found the mortality rate after 24, 48, and 72 h of Castor and Hazelnut oil exposure (Haghtalab et al, 2009)
