This chapter discusses the development of a mitigation measure against impacts caused by the ingestion of poisoned seeds by insecticides like carbofuran and carbosulfan in wheat,

In accordance with Brazilian Federal Decree nº 4.074 of January 2002, agrotoxins should be added to seeds mixed with dye to avoid the risk of being ingested by humans. The toxic dye rhodamine B, whose reddish-purple colour has been used for this purpose, it's apparent and
