Abstract

In this study, the effects of the organophosphorus insecticide diazinon on antioxidant enzyme activities, and female and total adult emergence ratios of Pimpla turionellae L., were investigated when using a synthetic diet containing 0.01, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 ppm of the insecticide. Sublethal concentrations of diazinon were supplied to P. turionellae for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours for enzyme activity and thirty days for determining emergence ratios.
