Abstract: 

The blister beetle Mylabris indica (Thenberg) a harmful crop pest, voracious feeding to flowers and to cause the Sevier damage of different agricultural plants, due to the problem of pesticide resistance, alternative techniques for chemical control, such as plant derived natural biopesticides, have been object of this research. The present study was aimed to understand the biochemical changes in fat body and reproductive organs such as testis, vas deferens seminal vesicle, MARGs (accessory glands)and ejaculatory duct of M.indica when treated sublethal concentration of phytopesticide, vijay neem.
