Studies on the effect of naphthalene balls on biochemical and histological changes in coconut pest rhinoceros beetle (oryctes rhinoceros)
To understand the effect of Naphthalene balls on Brain and Muscle of coconut pest Rhinoceros beetle was selected. The biochemical parameters like Protein, Glucose and Glycogen on Brain and Muscle of both control and Naphthalene balls exposed Rhinoceros beetle have been carried out. The beetles were divided into two groups, one is control group (N=6). Another one is Experimental groups (N=6). The experimental group beetles were exposed with Naphthalene balls (l ball/beetle). After 96 hours of exposure the beetles in experimental group were totally dead.
