Fig. 6From: Integration of some biopesticides against potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zell.), during storage with reference to histopathological changes detected by a transmission electron microscope in the endocrine systema Normal neurosecretory cells (NC) in the brain of the larva. White arrows showed points of synaptic clusters. b Neurosecretory cells (NC) in the brain of the treated larva. White arrows showed fat droplet in the cell cytoplasm. Sections in different tissues of the endocrine system of the potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculalla larva detected under electron microscope observation. a The normal untreated tissues. b Treated tissues of larva reared on potato tubers covered with talcum powder containing 0.5% each of basil extract + B.t + GV and 25 g/1 kg tuber.
