The effects of insect growth regulator Dimilin which interfere with the synthesis of chitin in the cuticle of insect larvae were investigated at various concentrations using the crab larvae of Hemigrapsus sanguineus. The larvae were cultured at control, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 $\mu g$ Dimilin solutions and three replicate experiments were carried out to give correct analysis. Significant differences in percent mortality have occurred between control and 10$\mu g$ when the larvae were exposed to Dimilin whereas no differences were found between 5 and 10$\mu g$ Dimilin concentrations. If lethal concentration is defined as concentration at which less than 10 percent of crab larvae reach to the last zoeal stage from hatching it can be concluded that insect growth regulator Dimilin is lethal to the larvae of Hemigrapsus sanguineus at 5 and 10$\mu g$ Dimilin.

The effects of Insect growth regulator Dimilin which interfere with the synthesis of chitin in the cuticle of insect larvae were investigated at various concentrations using the copepod larvae of Tigriopus japonicus Mori. The larvae were cultured at control, 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ppb Dimilin solutions and three replicate experiment were carried out to give correct analysis. Lethal effects of Dimilin on larvae of T. japonicus occurred above 1 ppb Dimilin solution after 8 days. $LC_{50}$ of larvae was 50 ppb Dimilin on the 4th day. Lethal effects of Dimilin on adults or T. japonicus occurred above 20 ppb Dimilin solution after 13 days. $LC_{50}$ of adults was 50 ppb Dimilin on the 12 days. Egg viability has little relation to Dimilin solution concentrations.

The larvae were cultured at control, 1, 5, 10, 활, 50, and 100 pub Dimilin solutions and three replicate experiment were carried out to give correct analysis. Lethal effects of Dimilin on larvae of T japoniu occurred above 1 ppb Dimilin solution after 8 days. LC50 of larvae was 50 ppb Dimilin on the 4th day. Lethal effects of Dimilin on adults of T. japoniu occurred above 1 ppb Dimilin solution after 13 days. LC50 of adults was 50 ppb Dimilin on the 12 days. Egg viability has little relation to Dimilin solution concentrations.

The cytotoxicological responses to insect growth regulator (IGR), using tebufenozide as ecdysteroid mimic, were investigated in Drosophila Kc cells. Treatment of Kc cells with tebufenozide showed significant growth inhibition and striking morphological changes including aggregation and elongation of the cells. In order to understand the cellular mechanism underlying the response of Drosophila cells to tebufenozide, immunofluorescence microscopy was performed. We found that treatment of Kc cells with tebufenozide enhanced the reorganization of f-actin and stimulated the expression of hsp27. These data suggest a possible association of filamentous actin (f-actin) and hsp27 in the cytotoxicological mechanisms of growth regulators in Drosophila cells.

Investigation of the environmental impact of widespread pesticide use has revealed a virtue/vice relationship. Although many pesticides perform their function and disappear without harm to the environment, others persist beyond their useful purpose and cause direct of indirect hazard to man, domestic animals and wildlife. Concurrently, many pests have rapidly adjusted to chemical control practices through changes in behavior that avoid exposure to pesticides of throuth genetic selection for populations resistant to the toxicants. The prospect of losing control over insect herbivores and desease vectors and returning to the days of global hunger and disease is unthinkable. Fortunately, from basic studies of insect and plant biology many opportunities for the development of safe, selective and environmentally pacific strategies for insect pest management are being realized.
