For this purpose, 40% and 80% of 24 hrs of LD50 values of various formulations were provided for treatment of termite workers. Observations were taken at 4 hrs time interval up to 16 hrs to know inhibitory activity of these combinatorial mixtures on termite species Odontotermes obesus. Significant (p > 0.05) alterations were observed in the level above mentioned bio-molecules when termites were treated with different combinatorial essential oils ingredients of Citrus maxima. Combinatorial mixtures of Tagetes erecta essential oils have shown synergistic activity against termites. This study will provide an overall sustainable way to termite control in crop field, gardens and houses. It also suggests use of essential oils as better alternative of synthetic termiticides as these are safer for environmental and human health.展开更多

They are the best alternative to synthetic pesticides that are harmless to the environment and human health. In the present study, different enzymes, namely alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase and acetylcholinesterase, were evaluated in Indian termite Odontotermes obesus in a combination preparation based on Tagetes erecta essential oil. For the study of anti-termite effects against worker termites were treated topically with 40% and 80% of the 24-hour LD50 values of various combination formulations. Subsequent bioassays at 40% and 80% of LD50 of combinatorial preparations S-AST-A, S-AST-B, and S-AST-C resulted in a significant (p > 0.05) decrease in glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase. After 16 hours of treatment, they were 87.92%, 80.17%, 89.30%, 79.17%, 81.92% and 73.17% respectively. In vivo exposures of 40% and 80% of the LD50 of the combination formulation caused a highly significant (p > 0.05) reduction (p > 0.05) of all test enzymes tested compared to controls. The effects of different oil formulations exhibited time- and dose-dependent responses, resulting in physiological changes in the concentrations of various enzymes. The combined mixture of Tagetes erecta essential oils has significantly better anti-termite ability compared to inorganic insecticides. Findings from this study will help support termite control in fields, gardens and homes in a sustainable way, without the downsides of insecticide resistance and pollution. These could potentially be used to produce commercial formulations for use against pests.展开更多

Altogether, fifteen species have been described here. The two species Nicaniella （N） trigonoides ＆ Protocardia （P） laticostata, which are earlier known from Late Cretaceous of Tiruchirapalli subbasin, southern India, have been recorded for the first time from Narmada Basin. The other species recorded are： Modiolus typicus, Neithea morrisi, Plicatula batnensis, P. numidica, P. instabilis, Lucina （L.） cf. fallax, Astarte similis, Opis corniformis, Protocardia hillana, P. madagascariense, Cytherea （Callista） lancianata, Trigonocallista spathi and Pholadomya sp.. During course of systematic revision, it has been found that many species described by earlier workers from the Late Cretaceous of Bagh Beds have been found conspecific to already known species from the Cretaceous of different parts of the globe and hence, they have been recorded here as junior synonyms. These species have immense implication in the palaeobiogeography of the region.展开更多
