  abstract = {{A}cute toxicity tests were performed on {C}renitis spp ({C}oleoptera; {H}ydrophilidae) using two herbicides, atrazine and diuron in the laboratory. {T}he experiment was to investigate the effect of high doses of these pollutants in individually and together for 12 h each on {C}renitis spp a species that abounds during the dry period in the shallow hydro-agricultural waters reservoirs of the {V}olta {B}asin. {I}ndividual macroinvertebrates were collected from puddle areas of the shoreline of {B}ama {R}eservoir in the {V}olta basin. {T}he dry period is the period of rest for agricultural activities at the reservoir. {T}ests have shown that the toxic effects of the two herbicides on the species of beetles can be enhanced when the both products act synergistically. {F}or diuron, the effective concentration that immobilizes 50% ({EC}50) of the insects is 44.96 g/l only, but drops to 11.72 g/l in the mixture; while in the same order, atrazine shows 11.75 g/l only and then drops to 7.33 g/l in synergy. {I}t is concluded from this study that works on ecotoxicology should consider the additive or synergistic effects of herbicides to define the bio-ecological traits of macroinvertebrate species living in frequently polluted hydro-agricultural systems.},
