In this study, effects of different concentrations of diazinon (0.01, 0.10, 0.25,<br />
0.50 and 0.75ppm) on superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity,<br />
protein and glycogen amount and the sex ratio of P. turionellae were investigated by<br />
using a meridic diet.<br />
SOD activity was affected significantly by diazinon treatment. Especially at<br />
72th and 96th hours, high concentrations of diazinon caused an increase in SOD<br />
activity. CAT activity was less affected than SOD by diazinon treatment. One main<br />
finding in this study that tried concentrations of diazinon did not cause decreasing in<br />
CAT activity compared to control. Also, CAT activity showed increase depends on<br />
concentration and exposure time of diazinon.<br />
Diazinon treatment did not remarkably affect on protein amount of insects.<br />
Glycogen amounts were significantly affected by diazinon at 24th and 48th hours;<br />
however, it was not affected at 72th and 96th hours. At 24th hour, except 0.01 ppm<br />
of diazinon, all concentrations of diazinon caused a significant decrease in glycogen<br />
amount, while 0.5 ppm of diazinon caused an increase in glycogen amount of insect<br />
at 48th hour.Lowest (0.01ppm) and highest (0.75ppm) concentrations of diazinon<br />
caused significant decrease on total adult emergence ratio. Total female emergence<br />
ratio significantly decreased in almost of all diazinon concentrations. Diazinon did<br />
not considerably affect on male emergence ratio. Maximum total adult emergence<br />
(76.25%) and female emergence (53.75%) was observed in control group.<br />
