Popis: Cuman L, a dithiocarbamate fungicide, was tested for its ability to induce sex-linked recessive lethals (SLRLs) and II-III chromosome translocations in Drosophila melanogaster by the larval feeding method. The three concentrations of Cuman L, of 20, 40, and 60 microliters/100 ml, induced significant (P less than 0.01) increases in SLRLs but failed to induce any translocations.
