Abstract:

Our aim was to study the genotoxic, cytotoxic and clastogenic effect of locally used various groups of agro-pesticides in the protection of crops using fresh water fish Channa punctatus as test model to estimate water pollution by micronucleus (MN) assay in vivo. Three different concentrations (MC, MC/2&MC/5) of eight pesticides (Dimethoate, Dichlorovos, chlorpyriphos and Malathion,... More
