Abstract:

Developmental toxicity of commercially used Dimethoate was assessed on 'desi' chick embryos (Gallus gallus domesticus). Five different concentrations (0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2%) of this insecticide were administered as a single dose in ovo in a volume of 100 µL per egg on day “0” of incubation. Embryonic development and morphological malformations were evaluated on day 12th. Mortality rate increased with the insecticide concentration. Moreover, this insecticide induced teratological and morphological changes in all treated groups compared to untreated group.
