Assessment toxicity to reproduction

Beta-Cyfluthrin caused reproduction toxicity in a two-generation study in rats only at dose levels also
toxic to the parent animals. The reproduction toxicity seen with Beta-Cyfluthrin is related to parental
toxicity.
Assessment developmental toxicity
Beta-Cyfluthrin caused developmental toxicity only at dose levels toxic to the dams. The developmental
effects seen with Beta-Cyfluthrin are related to maternal toxicity.
