Abstract
Zineb, (zinc ethylene bis (dithiocarbamate), a carbamate fungicide was analysed for its toxicity on Drosophila meanogaster . Different concentrations of the chemical were added to the food medium and fed to the larvae. Based on this, the LC50 was calculated to be 58·26 mg/100 ml food medium. The toxic efficacy, of Zineb on the rate of development and viability of D. melanogaster compared to Dithan M-45, a related carbamate, are discussed.
