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.
