TY - JOUR AU - Hamadah, Khalid Sh. PY - 2019 DA - 2019/07/17 TI - Disturbance of phosphatase and transaminase activities in grubs of the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) by certain insecticidal compounds JO - The Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology SP - 52 VL - 80 IS - 1 AB - Serious damage of red palm weevil to date palm encourages its control by various measures. The present work was carried out to investigate the effects of some insecticides of different categories (Pyriproxyfen, Neemazal, and Spinetoram) on the activities of phosphatases (acid phosphatase; ACP, alkaline phosphatase; ALP) and transaminases (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase; GOT, glutamine pyruvic transaminase; GPT) in both haemolymph and fat body of the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus 5th instar larvae.
