Toxic Effects of <i>Ficus benghalensis</i> Latex Based Combinatorial Formulations on Various Enzymatic Parameters in Indian White Termite <i>Odontotermes obesus</i>

In the present investigation, various bioassays were conducted to evaluate alteration in levels of enzymes i.e. alkaline phosphatase, acid glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, pyruvate transaminase and acetylcholinesterase. For this purpose worker termites treated with sub-lethal doses 40% 80% 24 hrs LD50 latex-based combinatorial formulations observations taken at 4 hours intervals up hours. Ficus benghalensis crude latex its mixtures, like C-MLT-A, CU-MLT-A, AQ-MLT, P-MLT EA-MLT significantly altered level Odontotermes obesus effect found time dose-dependent. Reduction or increase was calculated by using corresponding control. The maximum decrease phosphatase observed 16 h when B-MLT-B 82.84% treatment. A similar dose caused a very slight treatment but time. Further noted other successive treatments that significant p > 0.05. Similarly, C-MLT-B mixture (p 0.05) 93.42%, 89.46% 95.89%, 88.17% respectively. acetylcholinesterase also be decreased 92.72% 97.27% All above alterations confirm action ingredients on anti-feedant deterrent types. These can used control not only phytophagous insects.
