| Abstract | ||
| Laboratory studied were carried out in an attempt to disclose the effect of antifeedant (Neem) at different concentrations on one day old of the 5th nymphal instar of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal) by feeding technique. Results showed that Neem caused 42% mortality after 12 days from treatment of LC50 values. Neem decreased the THC after 2 and 4 days while significant decreased after 6 days compared to control. The free amino acids were non significant between Neem and control after 2 days while significant decreased after 4 and 6 days from treatment. The trehalase was non significant between Neem and control after 2 days while increased after 4 and 6 days from treatment. | ||
