Comparative toxicity of trivalent and hexavalent chromium compounds in fig moth Ephestia cautella (Walker).
Of the trivalent (CrSO4) and hexavalent (K2Cr2O7) chromium compounds, only the hexavalent produced significant deleterious effects on development and fertility of E. cautella, when eggs were reared on laboratory medium supplemented with different concentrations of these salts.
