A study review examined 1,076 cercariae tadpoles exposed to three pesticides (Atrazine, Azoxystrobin, and Carbaryl) under varying temperature conditions to explore whether higher temperatures influence toxicity. The analysis focused on time to knockdown (TTKD) and observed status, revealing that elevated water temperatures markedly increased the pesticides’ toxic effects. These findings highlight the need to consider multiple temperature settings in pesticide toxicity studies, reflecting real-world environmental scenarios.
