Effect of pesticides on microbial communities in container aquatic habitats
Container aquatic habitats support a specialized community of macroinvertebrates (e.g. mosquitoes) that feed on microbial communities associated with decaying organic matter. These aquatic habitats are often embedded within and around agricultural lands and are frequently exposed to pesticides. We used a microcosm approach to examine the single and combined effects of two herbicides (atrazine, ...
متن کاملComparative degradation of organophosphorus insecticides in soil: specificity of enhanced microbial degradation
Laboratory experiments investigated the comparative degradation of six organophosphorus insecticides in soil as affected by enhanced microbial degradation. The degradation rates and product distributions of chlorpyrifos, fonofos, ethoprop, terbufos, and phorate were not dramatically altered in soils containing microbial populations adapted to rapidly degrade isofenphos. An Arthrobacter sp. isol...
متن کاملEffect of four organophosphorus insecticides on microbial activities in soil.
Laboratory tests were conducted with four organophosphorus insecticides, Bay 37289 (O-ethyl O-2,4,5-trichlorophenyl ethylphosphonothioate), diazinon [O,O-diethyl O-(2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-pyrimidinyl) phosphorothioate], Dursban (O,O-diethyl O-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothioate), and Zinophos (O,O-diethyl O-2-pyrazinyl phosphorothioate), applied to a sandy loam at rates of 10 and 100 mug...
متن کاملBiological Control of Mosquito Larvae by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis
Chemical insecticides provide many benefits to food production and human health and has proven very effective at increasing agriculture and forestry productivities. However, they also pose some hazards as contamination of water and food sources, poisoning of non-target fauna and flora, concentration in the food chain and selection of insect pest populations resistent to the chemical insecticide...
متن کاملLaboratory Study of Microbial Insecticide Produced by the Bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis of Starch Factory Sewage for Biological Control of Larvae Culex pipiens
Background & Objective: Epidemic of dangerous diseases caused by Culex pipiens’ bites prompted us to focus on these groups of insects. Today, the most successful biological insecticides are produced by the bacteria of the genus Bacillus, which in the production phase of spores, makes crystalline endotoxin protein. This protein can be activated upon entering the insect’s intestine in alkali...
متن کاملEvaluation of toxicity and cotoxicity of biopesticides against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.)
In India, the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is an important pest of cruciferous vegetables and causes severe economic losses. This pest has ability to evolve resistance in laboratory and field to almost all groups of synthetic insecticides. Despite of these, management with synthetic insecticides has been considered to be the easy and favorable option by...
