Abstract

Laboratory experiments were carried out in an attempt to disclose the effect of a bio-insecticide (Spinosad), an IGR (consult) and their mixture at different concentrations (19ppm), (123ppm) and (9ppm of spinosad+52ppm of consult), respectively on one day old of the 5^th nymphal instar of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal) by feeding technique.
Total proteins, lipids and cholesterol contents were determined after 2, 4 and 6 days of treatment with Spinosad (at LC₅₀ value), consult(at LC₅₀ value) and their mixture(at LC₂₅ values). Total proteins, total lipids, total cholesterol, Highly significant decline were recorded in them by mixture.
