Juvenile hormone analogues: effect on eggs of aedes caspius pallas [Diptera: culicidae]

ABSTRACT

Eight chemicals of the arylterpenoid group were evaluated for juvenile hormone activity against Aedes caspius egg [less than 12-hr old]. Four compounds out of them were effective. At 1 ppm and 0.1 ppm treated eggs with compound VI and compound I showed reduction in the per cent of pupation respectively. At 0.1 ppm compound VI showed reduction in per cent of hatching and pupation with elimination of the males from population, while with compound VII at 0.1 ppm a delayed toxic effect on the larval stage was observed
