The present study deals with the effects of insecticide, Quinalphos on the acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activity of various tissues like gill, liver, kidney and muscle in the freshwater fish, Labeo rohita. Fishes were treated with Quinalphos for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 10 days and 20 days in water containing sublethal concentrations of Quinalphos (6.06 ppm). The observations indicate that there was decline in acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activity of Quinalphos treated tissues in the fish.Keywords

The plant extract of Tagetus erecta and Cymbopogon citratus were evaluated for ovicidal and repellent activities against Aedes aegypti. The egg hatchability was observed after 24 hour exposure. 100% ovicidal activity was observed at 5.5% and 3.0% respectively. Skin repellent test at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mg/cm2 concentration gave 100% protection upto 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 hrs respectively. From the present study it was revealed that extracts from Tagetus erecta and Cymbpogon erecta can be effectively used in the control of Aedes aegypti.Keywords

Samples of well waters in the area around a paper mill industry situated at Udumalpet, Tamil Nadu were collected and analysed for physicochemical characteristics to assess the water quality during the period of six months of pre-monsoon season (June-November 2008). The data show that the quality of groundwater is grossly polluted and not suitable for drinking and irrigation purposes due to presence of high solids and electrical conductivity.Keywords
