Abstract:
:The present experiment was designed to monitor the morphotoxic, cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of Mancozeb (fungicide) in non-target plants using bulbs of Allium cepa. Mancozeb is classified as a contact fungicide and is registered for use on a variety of crop plants. In the present monitoring, Allium cepa bulbs were exposed to different concentrations of mancozeb viz., 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, 130 and 150 ppm for 24 and 48 h. The potential morphotoxic and cytotoxic effects of mancozeb were examined by determining the average root number, average root length, mitotic index, relative abnormality rate (%) and frequency of abnormalities (%). A progressive significant concentration and time dependent inhibition of the average root number, average root length indicated the morphotoxic nature. The cytotoxic effect was significantly increased for 48 h treatment as compared to 24 h treatment time, by reducing the mitotic index of meristematic cells. The results indicated an indirect genotoxic effect by inducing different types of chromosomal abnormalities, likely sticky, disoriented and fragmented chromosomes. Thus indicating that the investigated fungicide have genotoxic potential due to abnormal DNA condensation and chromosome coiling by spindle inactivation. The observations of cyto and genotoxic effects suggest that the fungicide mancozeb is clastogenic agent. Thus the different concentrations used in the field could be harmful for the end-receptors of food-chain and needs constant monitoring and management for the better development of crop plants.
