Abstract
Poisoning of adult Schistocerca gregaria leads to the release of the hyperglycaemic and adipokinetic factors from the corpus cardiacum. The mode of action appears to involve the liberation of hormones at the paralytic stage of poisoning in amounts greater than that released normally. Behavioural changes and disturbances in metabolism resulting from insecticide-induced hormone release possibly contribute to the eventual death of treated insects.
