Abstract
Abstract: The Flora guard is agro-biopesticide that is widely used in agriculture. Floraguard is organic research product, is an agro-biopesticide. It acts as systemic as well as contact poison to the pest of the crop. It is immediately control all sucking pests, like thrips, aphids and jassids. It is commonly applied on grapes, mango, strawberry, brinjal, chili and onion etc. Aim of present the study was to assess acute toxicity and behavioural changes of this chemical on fresh water fish Danio aequipinnatus. The fish were exposed to Floraguard to determine the LC50 values. The static bioassay experiments were carried out by Finney’s method (1971).The fish was exposed to different concentrations of floraguard and the result showed the LC50 values at 24, 48, 72 and96 hours were 2.6230 ppm, 2.3474 ppm, 2.1478 ppm and 1.9870 respectively. The results of the present study indicates that floraguard has highly toxic effects on the fish Danio aequipinnatus.
