Abstract
In Egypt, a semi-arid country whose agriculture rated in a 5 -million-acre strip along the must be used to limit the loss of agricultural production to an acceptable level. Indeed, the urgency of maximizing agricultural productivity worldwide has stimulated efforts to develop new more effective pesticide chemicals, many of which have been used or tested in Egypt. Because of concern over the possible genotoxic (i e., DNA-mediated toxic) properties of some of these agents, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established, initialy under its Substitute Chemicals Program, a research project to evaluate the mutagenicity and related biological properties of selected pesticides. Of these chemicals, 21 are or have been used in Egyptian agriculture.
