  • Title: [Toxic and teratogenic effects of the ammonium salt of fosamine on the development of quail and chick embryos].
    Author: Lutz-Ostertag Y.
    Journal: Arch Anat Microsc Morphol Exp; 1983; 72(1):77-85. PubMed ID: 6685456.
    Abstract:
    The effects of a commercial spray preparation of ammonium salt ppf fosamine (a defoliant) on quail and chick eggs have been studied. The results lead us to conclude that under the stated conditions the product has little embryotoxicity. However, it does have teratogenic effects on the steal and on the cervical, dorsal and posterior axial skeleton. The observed malformations are more severe and appear more frequently in quail than in chick embryos.
