Evaluation of insecticidal and genotoxic effects of imidacloprid and acetochlor in Drosophila melanogaster

2008-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Two pesticides, the insecticide imidacloprid and the herbicide acetochlor, were evaluated for their insecticidal and genotoxic effects in Drosophila melanogaster. Their insecticidal effects were assessed by calculating LC₅₀ values after acute or chronic exposure of larvae and adults to different concentrations of the test compounds. After acute exposure, the LC₅₀ of imidacloprid was 7.59 x 10⁻⁵ M for larvae and 1....
