Abstract
Drosophila punjabiensisisis a common pest reported from India. Pesticides are known to induce changes in the structure of reproductive organ of Drosophila therefore here we examined the effect of Malathion and Chloropyrifos on Drosophila at 50% lethal concentration and control condition and results obtained. It was observed that the pesticide treated flies had aberrated vagina effecting there breeding behaviour and there fertility level. This led to the observation that the pesticides induced infertility in the Drosophila and therefore this process can be used for similar different common pests it can be replicated to induce effective pest management by using Drosophila as model organism.
