“…The higher toxicity of the α-cyano-substituted pyrethroids (cypermethrin and bifenthrin) has been observed previously for both terrestrial and aquatic insects and may be related to increased stability to detoxification enzymes such as oxidases and hydrolases [8,14]. However, the level of differences between aquatic and terrestrial insects in susceptibility to topically applied insecticides was not as great as might be expected, given the extreme toxicities reported for aquatic insects when exposed to insecticide diluted in water.…”

The acute toxicities of three pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin, cypermethrin, and bi‐fenthrin) and one organophosphate insecticide (chlorpyrifos) were compared by topical application and static exposure to a variety of terrestrial and aquatic insects. Mayflies and damselflies were the most susceptible taxa tested by both exposure methods. The aquatic insects were generally more susceptible than the terrestrial insects when compared on a dose per body weight basis, although the differences were smaller than expected, given the extremely low concentrations that produce toxic effects by static exposure.

“…Pyrethroid insecticides are often lethal to a wide variety of insect pests at extremely low doses (Khan, 1983), but at even lower doses these compounds have been shown to affect reproductive activities of several insect species (Haynes, 1988;Clark and Haynes, 1992). The effects of pesticides upon insects can be dramatic or quite subtle.…”

Laboratory experiment was conducted to examine sublethal effects of beta-cyfluthrin (Bulldock ® 025 SC) on the sepia mutant of Drosophila melanogaster at a temperature of 25Ϯ0.5°C, 50Ϯ5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16 : 8 (light : dark) hours. Males and females were exposed separately to beta-cyfluthrin (one tenth of the calculated LC 50 value) mixed in the diet for 24, 48 and 72 h. Fecundity, hatchability, pupation, adult emergence, larval, pupal and total developmental periods were evaluated in the F 1 generation after various cross combinations. A reduction in fecundity, egg hatching, number of larvae, pupae, adults and prolongation of larval, pupal and total developmental periods was observed. A significant reduction (pϽ0.05) in fecundity was observed only on the treated diet after treatment of both the sexes. Maximum effects were observed after 72 h treatment followed by 48 and 24 h. Males were found to be more susceptible to beta-cyfluthrin as compared to the females.
