Effect of Bio-Pesticide (Agroneem) on the biochemistry of kidney of Clarias batrachus

Abstract

In the present study authors studied the effect of bio-pesticide (Agroneem) on the biochemistry of kidney of Clarias batrachus. The biochemical parameters studied were RNA, total protein, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, GOT and GPT. These parameters in the experimental animal were found decline. The order of toxicity of Agroneem to biochemical parameters from higher to lower were- acid phosphatase (-78.623%)< total protein (-78.078%)< alkaline phosphatase (-70.594%)< RNA (-44.049%)< GPT (-39.618%)< GOT (-29.948%). Thus on basis of obtained results in the present investigation it can be concluded that 96 hrs. exposure of 30 ppm of Agroneem aqueous solution has toxic effect and alter the biochemistry of kidney. Therefore, it is recommended to the user of this bio-pesticide that they should be careful about the dose they are using.
