Abstract:

Dimlore (662 EC), a mixture of chlorpyriphos and dimethoate insecticide, was tested against the larvae of Chilo partellus (Swinhoe). Administration of 10 ml of 0.1 %, Dimlore per insect resulted in the inhibition of Acetyl cholineesterase (AchE) by 57.22% as compared to the control. The topical application of same dose of different concentrations of Dimlore resulted in significant dose dependant mortality after 24h and 48h of treatment.
