Abstract
Pesticides are one of the major sources of environmental toxicity and contamination. This study reports potential of lepidopteran insecticide formulation, named Flubendiamide, in altering compound eye architecture and bristle pattern orientation for four consecutive generations (P, F1, F2 and F3) in a non-target diptera, Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae). The concentrations of the insecticide formulation selected for treatment of (50 and 100 μg/mL) were in accordance with practiced Indian field doses (50 μg/mL for rice and 100 μg/mL for cotton). This study showed trans-generational insecticide-induced changes in the morphology of the compound eyes of the non-target insect .
