Pesticides and toxicity on aquatic larvae: A study on loktak lake Catchment area

This paper attempts to study on Pesticides and Toxicity on aquatic larvae of Pantalaflavecens found in the Loktak Lake Catchment Area, Manipur. It is also a part of the study on pesticide pollution in the lakes and their effect on non-target organisms. The time at which the pesticides are added into the water will be noted along with the room and water temperatures. The larvae were observed continuously for their response to the chemical. Whenever a larva dies, it was immediately removed. Therefore, a research work with an objective to develop ways and means of fighting harmful insects, pests and weeds without effecting non-target species and ecosystem is necessary.
