Abstract
Pesticides are
used comprehensively in agricultural fields to protect pest-induced damage
throughout the world. The extensive use of pesticides at high concentrations
may induce toxicity problem, which can negatively affect plant growth and
development. Pesticides are considered as an important group of environmental
pollutants, and many of them are reported to cause mutagenic effects in
plants. Promocarb-HCl fungicide is used
to control downy mildew on sunflower, cucurbits and potatoes, root rots on
tobacco seedlings.
In this study,
investigated was on mitotic index and mitotic abnormalities by Allium cepa
test. A. cepa test is highly sensitive,
reliable and capable of detecting mutagens, carcinogens and clastogens. To
investigate the effects of promocarb-HCI fungicide the roots of A. cepa were
treated with 0,5 ml/L, 1 ml/L, 2 ml/L, 4 ml/L, 8 ml/L concentrations fungicide
for 24, 48 and 72 h.
As a result,
determinated was that promocarb-HCI fungicide for induced mitotic
abnormalities. Mitotic index decreased
with increasing of concentrations and the exposure time as compared to their
controls.
