Toxicity of <i>Tagetes erecta</i> Essential Oil Based Combinatorial Formulations on Various Metabolic Enzymes in Indian White Termite <i>Odontotermes obesus</i>

Plant essential oils and their constituents have proven to be very effective against insects, especially termites. They are the best alternative synthetic pesticides that harmless environment human health. In present study, different enzymes, namely alkaline phosphatase, acid glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase acetylcholinesterase, were evaluated in Indian termite Odontotermes obesus a combination preparation based on Tagetes erecta oil. For study of anti-termite effects worker termites treated topically with 40% 80% 24-hour LD50 values various formulations. Subsequent bioassays at combinatorial preparations S-AST-A, S-AST-B, S-AST-C resulted significant (p > 0.05) decrease transaminase. After 16 hours treatment, they 87.92%, 80.17%, 89.30%, 79.17%, 81.92% 73.17% respectively. vivo exposures formulation caused highly reduction all test enzymes tested compared controls. The oil formulations exhibited time- dose-dependent responses, resulting physiological changes concentrations enzymes. combined mixture has significantly better ability inorganic insecticides. Findings from this will help support control fields, gardens homes sustainable way, without downsides insecticide resistance pollution. These could potentially used produce commercial for use pests.
