Tebuconazole (TBZ) is a broad-spectrum fungicide that disrupts fungal cell membrane. Due to its extensive application in agriculture, TBZ frequently detected aquatic ecosystems, posing potential risks amphibians. However, the effects of TBZ-based formulations on amphibian development remain poorly understood. The present study investigates Tebucur embryogenesis South African clawed frog. Two-cell stage embryos were exposed varying concentrations (0.01-100mg a.i./L) static non-renewal bioassay. exposure time varied between four and 14 days, depending desired developmental analysis method. resulted mortality with LC50-value 8.0mg a.i./L at days. As well, various morphological abnormalities during neural cardiac emerged. Additionally, reduction overall mobility was observed. This underlines need for strict regulation use TBZ-formulations.
