Abstract

Monocrotophos (MCP) and glyphosate (GLY) are used as insecticides and herbicides in agricultural fields. Our study aims to know the toxic effect of these two chemicals at sub-lethal concentrations on adult Anabas testudineus (Walking perch). We observed alterations in the structure of gonad & liver, spawning performance, body structure, and feeding behaviour of Anabas on this two-chemical exposure.
