Preventive approach to control the application of combined metazachlor and quinmerac pesticides in the treatment of rapeseed crop

Abstract

Despite pertaining to different chemical classes (metazachlor is a chloroacetamide, and quinmerac is a quinolinecarboxylic acids derivative), these two active substances have common toxicological characteristics when exposing the mammalian body: hepatotoxicity as a common target (the liver is the primary target organ for both compounds) and effects on the kidneys (both compounds at high doses are capable of causing nephrotoxic effects, changing the mass of the kidneys and disrupting their excretory function).
