Longevity toxicity after chronic α -endosulfan exposure in wild population of Drosophila melanogaster Oregon-R (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

The rapid increase in the world population causes different problems such as nutrition and shelter. In this case, people brutally destroy arable land to shelter, concretization is rapidly spreading. addition, it necessary amount of products be taken from limited agricultural areas for food needs increasing population. decrease appears a factor that reduces product unit area. weeds especially insects reduce yield, storage, marketing quality obtained restricted areas. This type plant can also considered disease carrier vector chain. To various insecticides have been developed against target organisms one these α-endosulfan. However, non-target living same ecosystem affected by all insecticides.
 present study, was researched whether chronic α-endosulfan application has an effect on longevity organisms. According data obtained, shortened maximum mean lifespan both male female populations Oregon-R wild strain Drosophila melanogaster based dose-time interaction. shortening observed life span statistically significant (p
