Cytotoxicity tests reveal significant genetic harm from chlorpyrifos over azadirachtin in seedlings, suggesting safer alternatives.

Both chlorpyrifos and azadirachtin showed cytotoxic effects on seedling development, with chlorpyrifos causing more significant damage.
At all tested concentrations, chlorpyrifos significantly reduced seed germination rates and increased chromosomal abnormalities.
The study utilized Allium cepa to assess cytotoxicity, measuring factors like primary root length and survival rates.
Findings advocate for the reduced use of chemical pesticides in favor of organic alternatives to protect crops.

Tyagi et al. (2025) studied this question.
