Abstract :In the present study, the cytogenetic effects of the fungicide Agri Fos 400 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(400 g/l mono- and di-potassium phosphonate); on meiosis of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Family: Solanaceae); were studied. The fungicide was applied to tomatoes grown in greenhouse conditions at the dosage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(400 ml/100 l water); recommended by the manufacturing company and double the recommended dosage insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(800 ml/100 l water);. All dosages of the fungicide Agri Fos 400 caused various abnormalities in meiosis when compared with the control. This situation could lead to a decrease in the productivity of fruits.
