- Intervention effect Seed germination and survival rate of chilli decreased steadily with increasing dose of the pesticides.
- Intervention effect The two organophosphorous pesticides reduced mean chiasmata per cell in chilli.
- Intervention effect The authors conclude that indiscriminate use of the chemicals affects normal plant growth and reduces yield.
