Toxicity of diflubenzuron to the grasshopper Oxya japonica: effects on reproduction
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 31 (2-3), 154-158
Abstract: When fed to adult female Oxya japonica Willemse, diflubenzuron was found to retard ovarian development of this grasshopper causing an increase in the percentage of terminal oocyte resorption. The fecundity of the females and egg hatchability were significantly reduced. In addition, treated females showed a characteristic tendency for the hind legs to break off from the body. Ingestion of the compound decreased the life span of adult females.
