Abstract
The genotoxicity of two triazine herbicides, terbutryn and terbuthylaz in, were studied in the Drosophila wing spot test and the sex-linked r ecessive lethal test following chronic larval exposures to the LD(50) and lower doses. It is concluded that both the compounds are genotoxic in the wing primordia and male germ Line cells at the LD(50).
