Abstract: | Fenvalerate, a synthetic pyrethroid, was analysed for its toxic effects on Drosophila melanogaster. It has been estimated that LC50 0.0166 micro 1/100 ml food is threshold of lethality. These studies have also revealed that fenvalerate is toxic as it had a pronounced effect on the rate of development and viability. |
