Abstract

Effect of malathion on treated food medium was studied on adult and 1st, 2nd and 3rd instar larvae of Tribolium castaneum. The LD50 for the instars was 228.22, 78.13 and 183.01 ppm, respectively. The rate of mortality increased with increasing concentrations. Toxicity probably depended on the ingestion of the treated food medium. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 41(3-4), 239-244, 2006
