Potential toxicity and effect on biochemical parameters of Deltamethrin and Carboburan on gonads of Chrotogonustrachypterus was investigated. LC50 values (24 hrs.) for Deltamethrin 22.069 ppm, 2.498 ppm and forCarbofuran 14.263 ppm, 1.711 ppm on female and male Chrotogonustrachypterus respectively. Toxicity of two insecticides were not similar for both sexes but male having higher degree of toxicity than female adult at 24 hrs of LC50 values. The effects of sub-lethal doses of Deltamethrin 11.034 ppm, 7.131 ppm; Carbofuran 1.249 ppm, 0.855 ppm on gonads of adult female and male Chrotogonustrachypterus were analysed respectively. Investigation of results evaluates the Carbofuran having greater potential toxicity than Deltamethrin. Analysis of biochemical parameters as protein, cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase and ATPase were evaluated at 12, 24 and 48 hrstreatment. Hyperproteinemia (p<0.001) exhibited at 12, 24 and 48 hrs after application ofDeltamethrin and Carbofuran in both sexes. The acute toxicity of pyrethroid and carbamate were compared by static exposure on Chrotogonustrachypterus. Analysis of LC50 value, evaluate that synthetic pyrethroids are less toxic than carbamates. Synthetic pyrethroid and carbamate insecticides have been developed for major uses to control crop pest in agriculture and public health.
