Abstract:Insecticides are widely used to control the insect damaging food and cash crops as well as the fruit plants. However, terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity is directly affected by overuse of insecticides. Present study was conducted to find out the genotoxic effect of insecticides on DNA damage and nuclear anomalies in RBCs of Labeo rohita after exposure to chlorpyrifos+endosulfan (CPF+END) by using Comet and Micronucleus Assay. Twenty fingerlings of L. rohita was kept in LC 50 concentration of CPF+END, (1.95±0… Show more
