Abstract
Seed treatment; of organophosphorous insecticides (Anthio, Monocrotoph os) affected the activities of amylase, peroxidase and protease in Cya mopsis. Linearly the activity increased from lower to higher concentra tion of treatments. Peroxidase activity was negatively correlated with germination percentage and seedling biomass. Influence of these organ ophosphorous insecticides reveals that the growth promoting activity w as reduced for a shorter duration of treated samples at lower concentr ation.
