Abstract
In this study, the effects of two concentrations (1 and 3 mM) of ammonium nitrate (AN), ammonium phosphate (AP), ammonium sulfate (AS), copper chloride (CC), magnesium chloride (MC), magnesium nitrate (MN), magnesium sulfate (MS), potassium nitrate (PN), sodium nitrate (SN) and sodium phosphate (SP) on salivary α-amylase activity of adults of the sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps (Put.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) were evaluated 30 minutes after incubation. Distilled water was considered as the control. The results showed that the effects of the mineral compounds on adults’ α-amylase activity were significant (P
