Abstract
⺠The effect of terbufos sulfone and atrazine on larval growth and development was investigated. ⺠Terbufos sulfone alone significantly slowed development and delayed metamorphosis of tadpoles. ⺠Atrazine had no observable effects alone nor did it interact synergistically with terbufos sulfone. ⺠The developmental effects indicates a risk to endangered southern bell frogs in the irrigation area. ⺠The results highlight the toxicological importance of some pesticide breakdown products.
