AGE RELATED EFFECT OF SODIUM HYPOPHOSPHITE ON THE PROTEIN CONTENTS OF HENOSEPILACHNA VIGINTIOCTOPUNCTATA (FABR.) (INSECTA)

The concentration of protein contents increases with feeding of AM conc. of Sodium hypophosphite to the adults of Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata at all the age intervals. However, the pattern of increase and decrease in acidic and total protein content remains the same in case of SHP treated adults as was in normal adults. The females of normal as well as of treated group possess high concentration of protein contents than that of males at comparable age intervals.
