Abstract:

The fifth instar larvae of Philosamia ricini were reared under food stress. These were kept on starvation for three days. After that the haemolymph was taken for the analysis. Monovalent cations sodium, potassium and divalent cations calcium and magnesium were estimated, to observe the impact of starvation

Keywords:

Haemolymph, monovalent cation, divalent cation, starvation,
