Biochemical and cytotoxic effect metribuzin herbicide on albino rats in short term of toxicity
Metribuzin considered as pre and post emergent herbicide used to remove a wide range of grass weeds. We investigate the sub-chronic cytotoxic effect of metribuzin in male albino rats that intubated orally with 0,110,220, and 440 mg/kg for three months twice per week. We founded that metribuzin containing herbicide Sencor 70% caused decrease in weight gain ratio of albino rats that was proportional with increase in dose level.
