Abstract

Laboratory studied were carried out in an attempt to disclose the effect of IGR (Cascade) on one day old of the 5^th nymphal instar of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal) by feeding technique.
The chitinase activity was significant increased between Cascade and control after 2, 4 and 6 days after treatment. The protease activity was significant increased between Cascade and control after 2, 4 and 6 days after treatment. Cascade was decreased the Alkaline Phosphatase activity after 2, 4 and 6 days from treatment. Cascade was increased ALT and AST activity after 2, 4 and 6 days compared to control.
