Abstract
The exposure sub lethal doses of three heavy metals, Cd, Fe and Mn as solutions of CdCl2, FeCl3 and
MnCl2 resulted a variable increase in mortalities of various life stages (L1-L4, pupa), adult emergence and
generation morality (k-factor). On the other hand, the developmental duration of various larval stages was
declined significantly in early or late instars. Beside toxic and adverse effects of Cd, Fe and Mn salts on
survival and longevity, stress of these heavy metals was found as accelerating factor for the larval
development
