ABSTRACT

Experiments were carried out to find the effect of Diazinon-60 EC and Dimecron-100 SCW on Diaptomus. The Diamptmus were exposed to various concentrations of Diazinon-60 EC and Dimecron-100 SCW. The median lethal concentrations of Diazinon-60 EC and Dimecron-100 SCW for 48 hours of exposure on Diaptomus were 0.3530 and 1.2809 ppm respectively.
