Because of their efficiency against a wide range of insect pests, pesticides are widely employed. It has an effect on the aquatic vegetation and fauna. The current study looks at the acute toxicity of endosulfan to 4th instar larvae of Chironomus stratipennis, a common and widespread Indian species. For analysing polytene chromosomal band maps and puffing activity, Chironomus stratipennis is a good research instrument. There is a scarcity of data on the biology, band maps, and puffing activity of Maharashtra's species, notably in the Nasik region. The current study looked at normal puffing of fourth instar larvae and puff induction after pesticide exposure in vivo and in vitro in Chironomus striatipennis from the Nasik region. In vivo, endosulfan-induced puff was seen in the 13A and 14C areas of the III chromosome arm, as well as the 14C area in vitro.
