| Abstract | ||
| Application of 100, 50, and 25 ug/nymph pyriproxyfen to the 5th instar nymphs of Schistocerca gregaria had remarkably reduced lipid and cholesterol contents in their haemolymph and fat bodies. This reduction was accompanied with a 2 days prolongation in the last stadium. It was therefore, concluded that pyriproxyfen plays the same role of juvenile hormone in suppressing lipid and cholesterol contents in the desert locust. | ||
