title: Effect of various xenobiotics on hatching success of Spodoptera exigua eggs as compared to a natural plant extract.
abstract: The effects of fenitrothion, carbaryl, and mancozeb, present in polluted water and plant extracted glycoalkaloids, were examined on hatching success of Spodoptera exigua eggs. All chemicals produced a significant decrease in hatching success, which was correlated with chemical concentration. One of the most interesting aspects of this study relates to the biological activity of glycoalkaloids.
