University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 USA St INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagels) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE & BIOLOGY 1560–8530/2007/09–5–782–784 http://www.fspublishers.org Toxicity of Pyrethorids Co-administered with Sesame Oil against Housefly Musca domestica L. SOHAIL AHMED1 AND MUHAMMAD IRFANULLAH Department of Agri-Entomology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad–38040, Pakistan 1Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The susceptibility of a laboratory reared strain of Musca domestica L. to cypermethrin 10 EC, fenpropathrin 20 EC, fenvalerate 20 EC and lambda cyhalothrin 2.5 EC, at different ranges of concentrations (250 to 2500 ppm) of the formulated insecticides in acetone alone and in combination with sesame oil in 1:1 and 1:2 ratio of insecticide: sesame oil was investigated. These concentrations in a volume of 5 mL were added to 25 g of granulated sugar in a petridish. House flies were fed on the insecticide coated sugar for 48 h. Knockdown and mortality data were recorded after 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h and subjected to probit analysis. KD50 values of cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, fenpropathrin and fenvalerate in 1:1 ratio with sesame oil were 4297, 17188, 2324 and 8487 ppm, respectively as compared to 1915, 15034, 2608 and 4005 ppm respectively when these insecticides were applied alone. Similar fashion was seen in context of LC50 values. The pyrethroid + sesame oil combination in two ratios does not show the synergism in M. domestica. Key Words: M. domestica; Pyrethroids; Synergist; Sesame oil INTRODUCTION conventional insecticides as well as against cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) (Moore, 2005). Sesamin, a lignan Housefly (Musca domestica L.) causes a serious threat occurring in sesame’s seed oil has been reported as synergist to human and livestock health by transmitting many insecticide, antisseptic, bactericide (Bedigian et al., 1985).

They thereby represent intentional mixtures of chemical sub- stances that may reach the environment in their initial or in a changed composition. The present pro- ject addressed three aspects in a mixture risk assessment of biocidal products, which is required dur- ing the regulatory authorisation. These aspects range from direct regulatory application (component- based aquatic risk assessment of products) to more science-oriented exploratory work (indication for synergistic interactions and prediction of mixture toxicity in terrestrial organisms). No indication for synergistic interaction was found for the effects of fungicides that inhibit

Vol. 25, 2006. pp. 45-49 ISSN 1023-6104 © Rajshahi University Zoological Society Effects of cypermethrin alone and in combination with leaf and seed extracts of neem against adult Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) M. Khalequzzaman1* and Makhsuda Khanom2 Institute of Biological Sciences, Rajshahi University, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh 1Department of Zoology, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh *Corresponding author; email: [email protected]; 2Present address: New Govt. Degree College, Rajshahi 6000, Bangladesh Abstract: Cypermethrin was applied either alone or in combination with leaf and seed extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) to four strains of the adult red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and the mortality was assessed after 24 and 48 hrs of treatments. The LD50 values were calculated as 0.0072, 0.0105, 0.0056 and 0.0124 µgcm−2 after 24 hours and 0.0041, 0.0076, 0.0046 and 0.0097 µgcm−2 after 48 hours of treatment for the Local, CR-1, FSS-II and CTC-12 strains respectively. The results showed synergism when applied in combined doses of cypermethrin and leaf and seed extracts with petroleum spirit, ethyl acetate and methanol. Leaf extract in acetone had an insignificant effect showing its inertness with cypermethrin excepting 24 hrs after treatment of Local strain and 48 hrs after treatment of CTC-12 strain. Seed extract in methanol in Local strain showed insignificant effect after 24 hrs of treatment but a synergistic effect occurred after 48 hrs of treatment. Key words: Cypermethrin, Azadirachta indica, Tribolium castaneum, synergism Introduction have strong pesticidal properties (Isman, 1999; Walter, 1999; Khalequzzaman & Khanom, 2000; Khanom & The intensification of food production has led to several Khalequzzaman, 2000; Mancebo et al., 2002).
